Demands of Energy Paradigm Shift Toward Education: Study on Hydrogen Technology Education in Hungary

Abstract

The term "energy paradigm shift" denotes a significant transformation in the comprehension, utilization, and administration of energy in recent years. This shift involves overhauling energy systems, technologies, regulations, and methodologies, moving away from a reliance on fossil fuels. Discussions surrounding the concept of an energy paradigm shift have been widespread, especially in energy security policies. Furthermore, the transition towards eco-friendly solutions in accordance with the Paris Agreement necessitates the formulation of novel operational, regulatory, organizational, and societal energy policies, as well as revolutionary shifts in socio-economic consciousness. Crafting strategies that integrate energy efficiency, security,commercial facets, and ecological consciousness demands an interdisciplinary, globally conscious, and lifecycle-oriented methodology. Energy transition necessitates substantial changes in our educational and training system. A thorough transformation of educational curric ula and methodologies, as well as increasing the contribution of higher education, is important in order to guarantee that professionals are adequately prepared to deal with the challenges and opportunities of the energy sector. In alignment with these ideas, this study presents the findings of an investigation concerning domestic hydrogen technology conducted by HUMDA Plc, a member of the Széchenyi University Group.
