The Professional Interdisciplinary Postgraduate Program “Energy Systems and Sustainability” (PIPP-ESAS) aspires to shape a new generation of specialized scientists and professionals with a deep understanding of modern energy technologies and their role in the transition towards a sustainable energy future. Focusing on renewable gas and liquid energy carriers such as hydrogen, biomethane, synthetic fuels, and ammonia, the program aims to enhance expertise in production, storage, transport and utilization of renewable fuels within the framework of the circular economy and carbon footprint reduction.
The Program aims to respond to the needs of the labor market, providing a balanced education between theory, technological applications and managerial skills. Through targeted training and specialization, it empowers young engineers, as well as industry professionals in alternative/renewable fuel technologies, project management and sustainable energy infrastructure development. It offers a holistic approach, combining technical, economic, environmental, legal and social dimensions. Program graduates will possess high scientific training and leadership skills, capable of promoting innovation and modernization of the sector.
The PIPP-ESAS constitutes the result of the long-term cooperation between the Schools of Chemical and Mechanical Engineering with DESFA (Operator of the Greek National Natural Gas System), which is the exclusive sponsor of the Program. The collaboration with DESFA strengthens and intensifies the links of NTUA with the labor market, through the promotion of this cooperation and the expression of interest from other agencies for young engineers, while simultaneously improving the visibility of the research work carried out at NTUA. The ambition of all collaborating parties is to constitute and operate as a knowledge and innovation hub, strengthening the cooperation between NTUA, agencies and businesses of the energy sector.
