Course Description
Hydrogen is an important element. It plays a major role in industry and in energy generation. Hydrogen has great potential for a sustainable future.
In this course “Hydrogen – Application Properties”, we learn the most important things about hydrogen. We examine why hydrogen is so versatile and where it can be used. Hydrogen is becoming increasingly important for clean energy and for putting less carbon-dioxide into the air.
We take an in-depth look at the chemical properties of hydrogen and how it can be stored and used safely. How does hydrogen behave in certain materials, for example in metals or plastics? What are the special properties of hydrogen, such as its ability to penetrate materials and the possible weakening of metals. We will learn how hydrogen is used in fuel cells and for energy storage. These are new technologies that can bring hydrogen into a green future.
