Background
‘Power-to-MEDME-FuE’ is a scientific project accompanying the large-scale construction of production facilities for green hydrogen, methanol and dimethyl ether in Chile. The research activities are being carried out by a consortium under the coordinating leadership of Fraunhofer IEE.
RILLL's task is the topic of human capital development and capacity development along the entire value chain in Chile. This is to ensure that companies in the hydrogen sector have sufficient skilled workers with the required skills.
Project objectives of the sub-project
The aim is to determine the demand for skilled workers at Linde Chile and other companies along the value chain that will arise from the scaling up of green hydrogen production. In addition, suitable training and further education measures will be identified and piloted to equip local skilled workers in Chile with the necessary expertise to build and operate production plants.
Activities
The sub-project has three central components:
1. RILLL and AHK Chile will support Linde in its strategic workforce planning for the development and scaling of a pilot plant in the field of green hydrogen. Our tasks:
a. to analyse the job profiles with their competence and qualification requirements and to match them with the skills of suitable specialists available in Chile;
b. prepare curricula/training measures for competence development; and
c. implement these measures as part of pilot training programmes.
2. RILLL and AHK Chile are creating a strategic skilled labour plan for Chile to determine how the green hydrogen value chain will develop in the future, what needs will arise as a result, and what training and continuing education measures are suitable for matching supply and demand for local skilled workers in the short, medium and long term.
3. These analyses will be complemented by a feasibility study that will determine whether and how elements of a dual or cooperative vocational training model can be introduced or further developed in the field of green hydrogen in Chile.
