Hydrogen Economy and Safety

After completing the course, you will know the physical and chemical properties of hydrogen and understand how they affect its production, storage, transport and use. You will understand the structure and value chain of the hydrogen economy, including key players, technologies and market dynamics. You will be able to describe and compare different hydrogen production methods (e.g. electrolysis, reforming, pyrolysis) and assess their technical and environmental impacts. You will understand the possibilities for further processing of hydrogen, such as synthetic fuels and chemicals, and their role in different sectors. You will be able to analyse the role of hydrogen as part of the energy system, especially in renewable energy storage and the energy transition. You will know the basic principles of hydrogen safety and be able to identify the risks and safety requirements related to hydrogen handling. You can apply what you have learned critically and assess the potential of hydrogen as part of sustainable energy solutions.

The learning material is collected in the Moodle platform. Some of the study materials are in English.
