Decarbonising Power Generation: Spring School on Green Hydrogen at NTUA

NTUA's engagement with the decarbonisation of the European energy system extends beyond the built environment to the power generation sector, where green hydrogen has emerged as a central pillar of the European energy transition. On 21 May 2026, the Laboratory of Steam Boilers and Thermal Plants (LSBTP) and the Laboratory of Thermal Processes (LTP) of the School of Mechanical Engineering, together with the HyCoFlex R&D Project consortium, will host the Spring School "Decarbonisation of Power Plants with Green Hydrogen" at the Multimedia Auditorium of the NTUA Library Building. The programme covers the full hydrogen value chain for power generation: hydrogen production through renewable-powered electrolysis, industrial-scale Power-to-H₂-to-Power systems, advanced gas turbines operating with up to 100% hydrogen, operational optimisation of hydrogen-integrated plants, and techno-economic and Life Cycle Assessment of hydrogen in cogeneration. Open in English to undergraduate and postgraduate students, researchers and industry professionals, with capped attendance of 80 participants to ensure a working-school environment, the Spring School complements the work of Thermal Processes Lab and the broader NTUA research community on building and campus decarbonisation, extending the same evidence-based, life-cycle approach to the supply side of the energy system. The initiative reinforces NTUA's role as a national reference point for the development of the technical workforce that will deliver Europe's REPowerEU and EU Hydrogen Strategy objectives.
