Hydrogen Energy Technologist

Hydrogen Energy Technologist

Profession will appear after 2035

Trends

Increase in the number of domestic developments for oil and gas fields in Kazakhstan Growing demand for technical gases, primarily hydrogen

Oil and gas

The development of alternative energy creates a significant problem: the need to accumulate surplus energy and use it during a period when generators of alternative energy cannot generate (calm, dark, etc.). One of the most promising technologies is the use of hydrogen as an energy carrier. The technology for producing hydrogen today is energy-consuming. The development of a cheap technology for producing hydrogen will give a significant impetus to the development of alternative energy.

The novelty of the profession: working with new materials: hydrogen as an energy carrier and an energy accumulator

Key competencies:

Development of hydrogen production technologies
Development of technologies for using hydrogen as an energy carrier (production of fuel for engines, power plants)

Over-professional skills

Environmental thinking is focused on achieving harmony between business and the environment. A business cycle is already developing from creation to disposal of a product, and not just its sale and consumption. Environmental thinking puts health and sustainable development at the top of the list.

The importance of environmental thinking is increasing due to the fact that industrial development has reached the limit and all further models of sustainable growth of society, the economy and business should be built on the basis of mutual interests with nature, the ecosystem, its maintenance and development.

Specialists with environmental thinking skills will be able to solve such problems as: respect for resources, achieving zero emission of harmful substances into the environment, waste management and use of secondary resources

Environmental thinking

The ability of a specialist to combine (summarize) particular facts into a big picture, build hierarchical levels for understanding various situations (economic, political, business) and making long-term decisions. An important quality is the understanding of how a change in one element will subsequently affect other elements.

The importance of systemic thinking is increasing due to the acceleration of changes in life, the need to learn new professions, as well as the growing interpenetration of various areas in each other (social networks, economics, politics, production, etc.).

Specialists with systemic thinking skills will be able to solve such problems, make strong long-term decisions in the context of rapid changes in the economy, diagnose large technical and social systems, make decisions on eliminating the root causes that hinder development, and this skill will allow for the integration of various project teams into a single working organism.

Systemic thinking

Intersectoral communication consists in understanding technologies, processes and the market situation in various related and non-adjacent industries, cross-functional and cross-disciplinary interaction. More and more advanced products are created at the junction of different industries and specialists need the ability to understand several areas of knowledge at the same time. This competency allows you to learn faster, take the best from different fields, and through this mutual enrichment, ensure development within your field. Those with such competence can create unexpected, unique, breakthrough solutions.
