On April 8\u20139 this year, the international hydrogen community gathered in Tartu to find practical solutions for developing vocational education in hydrogen technologies and strengthening regional hydrogen ecosystems. The event was led by TalTech\u2019s Virumaa College<\/a>, which represents Estonia in the Erasmus+ project Hydrogen Centres of Vocational Excellence<\/em> (H2CoVE).<\/p>\r\n H2CoVE brings together educational institutions, research organizations, and industry partners from five European regions \u2013 Vestland in Norway, North Holland in the Netherlands, Tyrol in Austria, Ivano-Frankivsk in Ukraine, and Estonia. The project aims to create strong, skills-based local ecosystems that support the development of the hydrogen economy and Europe\u2019s green transition. In addition to Virumaa College, other Estonian participants include Tartu Vocational Education Centre, the Estonian Aviation Academy, and Skycorp O\u00dc.<\/p>\r\n\r\n During the two-day meeting in Tartu, project participants shared progress updates, reviewed work packages and regional coordinator activities, and held in-depth discussions. At Tartu Science Park, they met with Estonian hydrogen companies H2Electro, GaltTec, and Skycorp. The TiVO hydrogen project was presented, and future cooperation opportunities in vocational education were explored.<\/p>\r\n The meeting also confirmed the H2CoVE project\u2019s Quality and Evaluation Handbook<\/em>, which defines the upcoming standards and reporting processes.<\/p>\r\n The delegation visited the VOCO Engineering Academy centre, where a dedicated hydrogen laboratory is being established to bring hydrogen skills into practical training. Participants also toured the Chemicum renewable energy centre, home to Estonia\u2019s first green hydrogen refuelling station and ongoing developments in battery and fuel cell technologies.<\/p>\r\n One of the highlights of the gathering was the presentation of different national hydrogen ecosystems. Special attention was drawn to the interactive map of Estonia\u2019s hydrogen ecosystem, created by TalTech Virumaa College\u2019s Nikita Lumij\u00f5gi. The map offers detailed information ranging from renewable energy producers to hydrogen storage and distribution solutions.<\/p>\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nSelle aasta 8.\u20139. aprillil kogunes Tartusse rahvusvaheline vesinikuvaldkonna kogukond, et otsida praktilisi lahendusi, kuidas arendada vesinikutehnoloogiate alast oskusharidust ja tugevdada partnerpiirkondade vesiniku \u00f6kos\u00fcsteeme. Kohtumist vedas TalTechi Virumaa kolled\u017e<\/a>, mis esindab Eestit Erasmus+ projekti Hydrogen Centres of Vocational Excellence<\/a> (H2CoVE) raames.\r\n\r\nH2CoVE \u00fchendab haridusasutusi, teadusorganisatsioone ja t\u00f6\u00f6stuspartnereid viiest Euroopa piirkonnast \u2013 Norra Vestlandist, P\u00f5hja-Hollandist, Austria liidumaalt Tiroolist, Ukraina linnast Ivano-Frankivskist ja Eestist. Projekti siht on luua tugevaid, kohalikel oskustel p\u00f5hinevaid \u00f6kos\u00fcsteeme, mis toetavad vesinikumajanduse arengut ja Euroopa rohep\u00f6\u00f6ret. Eestist osalevad projektis peale Virumaa kolled\u017ei veel Tartu Kutsehariduskeskus<\/a>, Eesti Lennuakadeemia<\/a> ja Skycorp O\u00dc.\r\nClicking into hydrogen: Estonia\u2019s map impressed international partners<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n
Klikka vesinikule: Eesti kaart k\u00f6itis rahvusvahelisi partnereid<\/h4>\r\nTartus toimunud kahep\u00e4evase kohtumise jooksul jagati projektit\u00f6\u00f6 edusamme, anti \u00fclevaade t\u00f6\u00f6pakettidest ja piirkondlike koordinaatorite tegevusest ning toimusid sisukad arutelud. Tartu Teaduspargis kohtuti Eesti vesinikuettev\u00f5tetega H2Electro<\/a>, GaltTec<\/a> ja Skycorp. Tutvustati TiVO<\/a> vesinikuprojekti ja visandati edasisi kutsehariduse-alaseid koost\u00f6\u00f6v\u00f5imalusi.\r\n\r\nKohtumisel kinnitati ka H2CoVE projekti kvaliteedi- ja hindamisraamat, mis m\u00e4\u00e4ratleb tulevased standardid ja aruandlusprotsessid.\r\n\r\nDelegatsioon k\u00fclastas VOCO Inseneriakadeemia keskust, kus rajatakse kutse\u00f5ppe tarbeks spetsiaalset vesinikulaborit, mis v\u00f5imaldab viia vesinikuoskusi praktikasse. Samuti n\u00e4idati partneritele Chemicumi taastuvenergia keskust, kus paikneb Eesti esimene rohevesiniku tankimispunkt ning arendatakse akutehnoloogiat ja k\u00fctuseelemente.\r\n\r\nKokkusaamise tipphetkeks kujunes eri riikide vesinikualaste \u00f6kos\u00fcsteemide tutvustamine. Erilist t\u00e4helepanu p\u00e4lvis TalTechi Virumaa kolled\u017ei esindaja Nikita Lumij\u00f5e loodud interaktiivne Eesti vesiniku \u00f6kos\u00fcsteemi kaart<\/a>, mis pakub detailset infot alates taastuvenergia tootjatest kuni vesiniku salvestamise ja jaotamiseni.","image":null,"align":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":12801},{"acf_fc_layout":"text","type":"text","text":"
Vesinik, k\u00e4egakatsutav v\u00f5imalus<\/h4>\r\nMuuhulgas viidi l\u00e4bi praktiline t\u00f6\u00f6tuba \u201eEcosystem Talk\u201c, mida juhtisid professor Allan Niidu<\/a> ja Skycorpi juht Marek Alliksoo. T\u00f6\u00f6toas kaardistati peamised takistused ja v\u00f5imalused, mis vesinikuvaldkonna arengut eri riikides m\u00f5jutavad.\r\n\r\nSelgus, et arengut takistavad eesk\u00e4tt \u00fchiskonna madal teadlikkus, rahastamistakistused ja hariduss\u00fcsteemi aeglane kohandumine.

H2CoVE projekt loob kindla pinna, et Euroopal oleks vesinikurevolutsiooni l\u00e4biviimiseks piisavalt teadmisi, oskusi ja inimesi.\r\n\r\nH2CoVE projekti rahastab kutsehariduse tippkeskuste (Centres of Vocational Excellence) meetme kaudu Euroopa Liidu Erasmus+ programm, .<\/em>","image":null,"align":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"text","type":"color","text":"
