Annotation
The hydrogen and Hydrogen Based fuels course aims to introduce hydrogen (technologies) production and fuels to students and provide them with the basic science behind the processes involved. Hydrogen is an important raw material for the chemical, petrochemical or agrochemical industry, with the big chances to become an energy carrier alongside electricity in the near future. This will be useful for both students progressing into the area of hydrogen production and its utilisation in energy generation/storage.

Aim of the course

By the end of the course students should be able to:

• Present and criticise the methods, potential, benefits, and prospects of hydrogen production, storage and safety handling.

• Understand concepts that relate to Power to Gas and Power to X concepts.

• Describe the Physics, Chemistry and Engineering of hydrogen production and storage technologies and be able to apply this knowledge to moderately complex problems.

• Be able to choose appropriate technology when faced with a moderately complex engineering design task.

• Communicate information, concepts, problems and solutions to specialists and non-specialists.
