Hydrogen : Transport and storage

Ref. 243001

Dive into the technical, economic and material challenges of large-scale hydrogen transport and storage.

Duration: 1 week
Effort: 5 hours
Pace: ~5 hours/week
Languages: English and french

What you will learn

At the end of this course, you will be able to:

Describe and compare the main hydrogen transport and storage technologies, including their physical principles, technical constraints, and industrial applications.
Assess safety, material compatibility, and regulatory requirements for hydrogen infrastructure.
Analyze the economic and environmental impacts of hydrogen logistics, including life-cycle assessment and carbon taxation.

Description

The European Hydrogen Backbone is being built — right now.
Across the world, hydrogen transport and storage are stepping in to replace — or complement — natural gas.
But this isn’t just about pipes and pressure.

This MOOC takes you straight into the core of hydrogen transport and storage — compression, liquefaction, pipelines, tanks, safety, materials, costs. No fluff. Just industrial logic.

You’ll explore real engineering choices. The trade-offs. The risks. The economics. And the systems behind it all — including Europe’s big bet: the Hydrogen Backbone.

Your final challenge? Connecting the dots to design tomorrow’s large-scale hydrogen infrastructure.

This course is more than a knowledge drop.
It’s a technical deep dive. A toolkit for engineers. A serious step toward mastering hydrogen logistics in real operational contexts.

At the end, you’ll earn an official certificate: proof that you speak the language of hydrogen.

Let’s get the hydrogen flowing.

Format

The MOOC is structured into four chapters, each corresponding to one learning sequence.

Each chapter includes:

- Short expert-led video lectures - in english with french subtitles
- Handouts (in both english and french)
- A quiz (in english) to assess your understanding

Discussion forums will allow interactions with instructors and fellow learners.

A webinar will give you the opportunity to interact with the experts and faculty about the course.
