HyCoFlex Spring School Brings Together Experts and Young Professionals at NTUA
On 21 May 2026, the HyCoFlex Spring School on Decarbonisation of Power Plants took place at the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA), bringing together students, researchers, and industry professionals for a full day of discussions on the future of hydrogen-based power generation.
Organised by the Laboratory of Steam Boilers and Thermal Plants (LSBTP) and the Laboratory of Thermal Processes (LTP) of the School of Mechanical Engineering at NTUA, in collaboration with the HyCoFlex consortium, the event focused on innovative technologies and strategies supporting the transition towards low-carbon energy systems.
The programme covered a wide range of topics, including advanced gas turbine technologies, Power-to-H₂-to-Power systems, green hydrogen production, operational optimisation, and the integration of hydrogen into modern energy infrastructure.
The Spring School also featured presentations from invited industry experts, including Stella Giannissi (Motor Oil Hellas), Grigoris Tsagris (Hellenic Hydrogen), and Agis Digkas (DESFA), who shared valuable insights into the role of hydrogen in the evolving energy landscape and the practical challenges and opportunities linked to decarbonisation.
The HyCoFlex consortium would like to thank all speakers, organisers, and participants for contributing to the success of the event. The strong engagement throughout the day highlighted the growing interest in hydrogen technologies and the importance of collaboration between academia, industry, and research organisations in accelerating the energy transition.
