| 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.
|
| 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]
