Hydrogen Production, Conversion, Utilization and Storage

The course will cover hydrogen value chain from production to utilization in the context of decarbonization of industry. Hydrogen properties will be introduced. Fundamentals of hydrogen production technologies will be covered such as fuel processing (hydrocarbon reforming) and non-reforming production including biomass gasification, biological methods. Biomass, algae, plastic and coal feedstocks will be considered. Hydrogen conversion to energy, chemicals and utilization, will be developed. Storage technologies will be discussed. Emphasis will be on understanding reaction mechanisms as well as performance indicators to compare technologies.
