Overview
Hydrogen holds the potential to provide clean, safe, affordable, and secure energy from abundant domestic resources. However, there are several technical challenges to the commercialization and widespread use of hydrogen as an energy carrier. This course provides an overview of the current methods and challenges associated with production, delivery, storage, and use of hydrogen as a transportation fuel. Additionally, this course describes the basics of fuel cells – a device that can convert hydrogen into electricity – and how they operate.
The great promise of hydrogen as a transportation fuel prompts the need for engineers and government officials with professional engineering licenses to be well-informed about hydrogen in order to advance the commercial development of hydrogen production, delivery, storage, and use.
The student is expected to read and review the material contained in “Hydrogen & Our Energy Future”, published by the U.S. Department of Energy Hydrogen Program.
The student must take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of ten (10) questions at the end of this course to obtain PDH credits.
