Introducing Hydrogen and Renewable Energy to the Next Generation
As part of its commitment to promoting awareness and engagement around the clean energy transition, TRIERES was recently presented to students at Lycée Léonin (Λεόντειος Σχολή) in Athens through an educational visit organised by Motor Oil.
The initiative aimed to introduce 11- and 12-year-old students to the world of renewable energy and hydrogen technologies, helping them better understand the importance of sustainable solutions for the future.
Exploring the Basics of Clean Energy
During the interactive session, the students had the opportunity to learn about the TRIERES Hydrogen Valley vision and discover how innovative energy systems can contribute to a low- and zero-emission future.
Key topics presented included:
- How solar energy can be converted into renewable electricity
- The role of wind energy in clean power generation
- The process of electrolysis and how hydrogen is produced from water and electricity
- The different applications of hydrogen in transport, industry, and energy systems
Through simple examples and engaging discussions, students were introduced to fundamental concepts behind the energy transition and the growing role of hydrogen technologies in Europe’s sustainable future.
Raising Awareness Through Education
Educational initiatives such as this play an important role in strengthening awareness around climate change, renewable energy, and clean technologies from an early age. By connecting young students with real-world innovation projects like TRIERES, the initiative helps inspire curiosity, critical thinking, and future interest in science, technology, and sustainability.
This latest school visit builds on TRIERES’ broader commitment to educational outreach and knowledge-sharing activities across different age groups and academic communities. Previous initiatives have included the educational event organised for World Hydrogen Day at the 1st Primary School of Agioi Theodoroi, where students were introduced to renewable energy and hydrogen concepts through interactive activities, as well as presentations delivered to students at Deree – The American College of Greece, focusing on hydrogen innovation and the future of sustainable energy systems.
In addition, TRIERES was recently presented to students from FH Kufstein Tirol – University of Applied Sciences during interactive workshops organised at the Green Energy Center Europe by FEN Research GmbH. The workshops highlighted the role of Living Labs, collaboration, and hydrogen technologies in supporting Europe’s clean energy transition, while actively engaging students in discussions around sustainable innovation and Hydrogen Valleys.
