Two experts of the Centre have been invited to take part at the new “HyDEN” master’s program at the IFP school.
The IFP School, an engineering school recruiting mainly students with five years of higher education and specializing in energy, transport and environment, offers an Advanced-Master program (Mastère spécialisé®) “Hydrogen Project and Engineering“ which provides a global perspective on the hydrogen industry in France and abroad.
“This new program embodies IFP School’s concrete shift and commitment to a low-carbon, sustainable world. Given the limited availability of graduate training dedicaded to hydrogen, we have designed a specialization in its own right, aimed at training engineers who will participate in the development of the sector in a responsible manner“, says Marie-Hélène Klopffer, Research Engineer at IFPEN and Head of development for IFP School’s new Hydrogen Project and Engineering program.
In this context, two Cetim specialists, Christophe Briançon and Miguel Cruz, have been invited to lead two courses dealing with the challenges associated with tank design and those related to surface cleanliness and gas purity. ‘This aspect is often underestimated or even absent from technical discussions, even though it is crucial for the reliability and sustainability of hydrogen equipment, electrolyzers and other fuel cells,’ stresses Miguel Cruz.
Course on Surface Cleanliness and gas purity will enable engineers to :
- understand the impact of fluid cleanliness and purity on the reliability of these systems,
- identify the main pollutants,
- discover analysis methods and key reference standards,
- discuss industrial challenges through practical case studies and feedback.
Course on the design of tanks for storing and transporting highly flammable hydrogen is another key challenge: they must be able to withstand high pressures and prevent leaks, while remaining cost-competitive. Christophe Briançon will present :
- the composite materials used,
- the associated standards
- their design.
The choice of these two experts in the field confirms the validity of Cetim’s positioning in training courses leading to certificates or diplomas and recognition of its expertise in hydrogen, as demonstrated by its +40 H2 Cetim Academy training courses available on one hand, and its HyMEET strategic project dedicated to unlock technological barriers linked to H2.
