The Laboratory of Steam Boilers and Thermal Plants (LSBTP) and the Laboratory of Thermal Processes (LTP) of the School of Mechanical Engineering at the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA), in collaboration with partners of the HyCoFlex funded R&D project, are pleased to announce a Spring School dedicated to the decarbonisation of power plants.

The event will take place on 21 May 2026, from 09:30 to 17:30 (EEST), at the Multimedia Auditorium of the NTUA Library Building on the Zografou Campus.

The Spring School will explore recent developments in the decarbonisation of power generation, with a strong focus on hydrogen-based technologies. Topics will include the advancement and demonstration of industrial-scale Power-to-H₂-to-Power systems capable of operating with hydrogen blends up to 100%, as well as the development of advanced gas turbine technologies designed for operation with hydrogen and natural gas mixtures.

Additional sessions will address green hydrogen production through water electrolysis powered by renewable electricity, highlighting its role as a sustainable energy storage solution. The programme will also cover dynamic modelling and optimisation of Power-to-H₂-to-Power units, alongside techno-economic analysis and life cycle assessment of hydrogen integration in cogeneration systems using advanced gas turbines.

The Spring School is open to undergraduate and postgraduate students, researchers, and professionals at all career stages who are interested in or active in the field of decarbonisation of power generation using green hydrogen. All presentations and discussions will be conducted in English.

Participation is free of charge. Attendance is subject to availability, with a maximum of 80 participants.
