Application Deadline

Open until start date or class full.

Delivery Method

The Fall 2024 cohort of The Hydrogen Economy is a combined synchronous/asynchronous package. The synchronous (real time) segments are weekly 1-hour Zoom meetings, 6:00-7:00 pm US Central Time, on Monday evenings unless holidays or other scheduling factors dictate otherwise. These sessions include overviews, updates, course guidance, and Q&A. The first synchronous segment is an orientation session, which comes at the start of Badge 1 (Hydrogen Production Badge). The other weekly synchronous segments are for review of assigned asynchronous material and for Q&A.

The asynchronous segments consist of recordings, lecture notes, and pre-read documents. These are to be reviewed and studied between the weekly synchronous sessions. There are 2 x 2½-hour asynchronous sessions per week, together with weekly quizzes.

Dates for the synchronous segments are:

Orientation Session: August 19

Badge 1 - Hydrogen Production: August 26 | September 4* | September 9

Badge 2 - Hydrogen Transportation, Safety & Use : September 23 | September 30 | October 7

Badge 3 - Commercial Opportunity for Hydrogen: October 21 | October 28 | November 4 | November 6* | November 13*

*Wednesday Session

Capstone project session. Additional synchronous sessions may be needed for project reviews.
