Hydrogen & PTX Programme

A true Agora product, the Hydrogen and PtX Training programme was jointly developed by Agora’s Hydrogen and Training teams to form a two-week full-time immersion into the world of renewable hydrogen and Power-to-X (PtX). With multidisciplinary sessions from Agora experts in the field and practical step-by-step guidance for identifying stakeholders and developing policy recommendations, participants use their respective country’s hydrogen context as the basis for their analysis.

For this training, Agora Energiewende invites a group of eight participants for an intensive two-week training on hydrogen and PtX at our office in Berlin, Germany. Over the course of the programme, participants take part in training sessions prepared and facilitated by Agora Think Tanks’ hydrogen experts. These multidisciplinary sessions cover the primary aspects of hydrogen, including technological, political, and economic perspectives, as well as the sustainability criteria needed to develop hydrogen economies. In a series of exercises, participants map the hydrogen policy context and relevant stakeholders in their respective countries and discuss within the group what lessons can be learned. Developing an independent policy recommendation that fits into participants’ national and organisational contexts forms the core of this exercise.

The goal of the programme is to empower participants to act as drivers of change in their country’s energy transition by strengthening their abilities to weigh the opportunities and risks associated with hydrogen and PtX technologies.

Note: Between 2022 and 2024, the Hydrogen & PTX Programme ran across five cohorts, reaching a total of 38 participants from Latin America, Eastern Europe, Southeast Asia and East and Southern Africa.

“The Hydrogen and PtX Training was a transformative learning experience which has empowered me to take up a thought leadership role on PtX at my organisation. The two weeks were a perfect mix between theory and practice. I found the skills building components on stakeholder positioning, effective communication and the development of policy recommendations very valuable. I also truly enjoyed the opportunity to learn from colleagues all over the world and have built lasting connections.”
