KPI approves educational programme on hydrogen and biofuel technologies

In May 2025, the Academic Council of Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute (KPI) ratified an innovative interdisciplinary educational professional programme of the first (bachelor's) level, ‘Sustainable equipment for biofuel and hydrogen technologies.’

The programme was created on the basis of the Department of Automation of Electrical and Mechatronic Systems of the Educational and Scientific Institute of Energy Saving and Energy Management in close cooperation with the Ukrainian Hydrogen Council and other partners of the department.

The aim of the programme is to train a new generation of specialists capable of combining knowledge in the field of automation, mechatronics and energy-efficient technologies with practical skills in working with biofuel and hydrogen systems. This is an important step towards the systematic training of personnel for the development and implementation of modern energy-efficient and climate-neutral technologies in the energy sector and industry.

Particular attention is paid to the material and technical support of the programme. The basis for its implementation is the educational and scientific laboratory ‘Innovative Technologies in Energy and Transport’, established at KPI with the support of the Ukrainian Hydrogen Council in 2023.

Through joint efforts, we are shaping a sustainable energy sector and hydrogen economy in Ukraine.
