Specifically, they are able to
Understand the different hydrogen production methods and evaluate them in terms of their sustainability and efficiency [k3, k5].
Critically analyze the challenges and potentials of hydrogen storage and transport [k4].
Evaluate the technical requirements and safety aspects of hydrogen applications [k5].
Analyze the social, political and economic framework conditions for hydrogen technologies and classify their significance for a sustainable energy future [k4, k6].
Identify possible applications of hydrogen in the mobility and household sectors and evaluate their implementation options [k3, k5]
