Hydrogen: Energy of the future

How and why could hydrogen support the transition to a cleaner world

What you'll learn
An overview of the drivers for clean hydrogen
Knowledge on the history of hydrogen
An understanding how hydrogen can be produced
Awareness of the potential role for hydrogen in a decarbonised world
Industry development considerations
Requirements
No prior knowledge is required, this will cover all you need to know as an introductory course
Description
Hydrogen is gaining more and more interest globally as a potential fuel of the future. This course provides an introduction to the concepts of hydrogen energy, the history of hydrogen and the applications that hydrogen could play a role in in the future.

This course will cover

· The global need for clean fuels: what is the global context to needing clean fuels

· The history of hydrogen: when did we first start using hydrogen

· Hydrogen applications: what are the various applications hydrogen can be used for

· Hydrogen production methods: how can hydrogen be produced and what are the "colours" of hydrogen

· The reality of a hydrogen future: what is needed to make hydrogen a reality

By taking this course, you'll get a basic understanding of why people are starting to talk about hydrogen in relation to energy transition, decarbonisation and net zero.

This course is intended to act as an introduction to the concept of hydrogen as a fuel. No prior knowledge on hydrogen is required, however a basic interest in the areas of decarbonisation, clean fuels or renewable energy may help. Hydrogen is just one of many potential future energy sources, and this course aims to provide you with the basic knowledge to have a conversation on the topic and provide the background to help with further study.
