This is a highly salient topic for discussion and exploration during the Year of Sustainability.

Led by a highly-qualified HCT Engineering faculty member, Fouad Mattar, the inaugural HCT Ramadan Talks event, is a student-focused round-table discussion forum involving eight highly motivated HCT students, who will discuss and debate the topic in an interactive and engaging format.

The forum will delve into a range of topics as to why Green Hydrogen could be an ideal source of energy, as more nations seek to find alternatives to their oil-based economies. Hence, the session will consider:

1. What constitutes Green Hydrogen;
2. Its comparisons to Blue and Grey Hydrogen;
3. How it out performs those forms in terms of environmental impacts;
4. How & where it is produced;
5. Its applications;
6. Its benefits & drawbacks;
7. The current state of the Green Hydrogen industry & how it can be advanced;
8. The potential for the industry in the UAE;
9. How can educators and students get involved in Green Hydrogen;
10. Potential for student startups related to Green Hydrogen (electrolysis);
11. The next steps forward.

The forum ultimately seeks to act as an awareness initiative for the HCT community and the genesis of a call to action for youth to be more fully involved in such sustainability-oriented endeavors.
