Learning Outcomes
Competences
Students will be able to develop a sound understanding of the entire hydrogen value chain, including production, transportation, storage and applications in industrial and public sectors. They understand the technical, economic, social and environmental challenges and opportunities of green hydrogen technologies.
Skills Knowledge
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]

Basics of hydrogen production: electrolysis, steam reforming, pyrolysis, color classification of hydrogen (green, blue, grey, black/brown, pink, violet) Hydrogen transportation and storage: pipeline infrastructure, geological storage, transportation in the form of ammonia or methanol Applications of hydrogen: industrial processes, mobility, domestic heating supply Safety aspects: Hydrogen embrittlement, explosion risks, material requirements Technology and innovation management: market potential, scaling challenges, political framework conditions Social acceptance and sustainable development: public perception, regulatory requirements, infrastructure development
