Port accessFor the second year running, the Bilbao PortLab innovation hub is collaborating in the Inter-University Master’s Degree in Hydrogen Technologies (MITH), offering students topics for their Final Master’s Theses (FMT) related to the Port of Bilbao and the companies that operate in it.
This Master’s Degree, now in its fourth edition, is offered by universities such as the University of the Basque Country and Mondragon Unibertsitatea, and trains professionals in the different technologies along the entire hydrogen value chain (generation, storage, transport, distribution, transformation and applications).
The collaboration between Bilbao Portlab and the MITH has given rise to a FMT topic aligned to the current context of energy transition based on hydrogen and/or its derivatives, and offers interested companies a roadmap to achieve their decarbonisation goals. The reduction targets to be delivered in the maritime transport sector are ambitious, and, furthermore, the EU emissions trading scheme was extended to this sector in January 2024.
This collaboration started with a project conducted with the company Bergé, and this year, MITH students will have a choice of four possible FMTs to be supervised by lecturers from the Bilbao School of Engineering (UPV/EHU) and by staff from the Bilbao Port Authority and Bilbao PortLab.
