Hydrogen Storage Training — Metal Hydrides
Basic-level training specially designed for students, researchers, and professionals interested in pursuing research in hydrogen storage using metal hydrides.
Training
Four levels, bench to stack.
Every level is hands-on: you prepare the catalyst, coat the electrodes, press the membrane electrode assembly, bolt up the cell and test what you built. Choose a level below, or compare them in the table.
Training & Capacity Building
Four levels. Every one of them hands-on.
Our training programmes are designed for engineers and technicians working in industry, and for professors, faculty members, research scholars and students from colleges, universities and leading technical institutions, including the IITs and NITs.
We have extensive experience running short-term and specialised training in hydrogen energy and fuel cells:
Short-Term Training (STT)
The four structured levels below, run at our Chennai benches or at your institution.
Training of Trainers (ToT)
For faculty who will go on to teach and supervise this work themselves.
On-the-Job Training (OJT)
Extended, embedded training for engineers and technical staff already in post.
Alongside the structured programmes we have run numerous industrial workshops and hands-on technical workshops, both at our own company and at colleges, universities and technical institutions.
The programmes cover more than theory. They are built around practical understanding, hands-on experience, industrial application and the real-world problems that come up in hydrogen energy and fuel cell technologies.
Our objective is to bridge the gap between academic knowledge and practical industrial requirements, so that participants can apply what they have learned with confidence in research, in teaching and in professional practice.

The levels side by side
| Level | Training programme | Key topics / scope | Theory | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pre-Level I | Hydrogen Experience | A short experiential session designed as an introduction to our training programmes, or as a standalone experience before enrolling in any training level. Ideal for those who want to experience the operation and functionality of real fuel cells and electrolysers through live demonstrations and hands-on experimentation within a short duration. | Live experimental demonstration | 3 hours |
| Level I | PEM Fuel Cell Training | Catalyst slurry and coating, electrode and MEA fabrication, gasketing, single-cell assembly and performance evaluation — a proton exchange membrane fuel cell built end to end. | 2 hours | 3 days |
| Level II | PEM Electrolyser TrainingFuel-cell component not included | Single-cell assembly, Pt/C electrode and MEA fabrication, data plotting, gas-flow measurement, efficiency, commercial MEA and the HER/OER theory behind all of it. | 2 hours | 3 days |
| Level III | PEM Fuel Cell + ElectrolyserSingle cells | Complete Level I and Level II training in one visit, focused on single-cell systems — both halves of the hydrogen cycle on the same bench. | 4 hours | 5 days |
| Level IV | Advanced Level TrainingFor industrial professionals and research scholars | Levels I and II in full, then past the single cell: stack assembly and operation, advanced calculations, a hydrogen storage demonstration and further hands-on work. | 5 hours | 6 days |
Special counselling is available for project proposals, research, publications and career guidance, and on fuel cells, hydrogen generation, chemical synthesis, hydrogen storage and laboratory installation within your own organisation. Concessional testing charges may be available for participants' samples.
