Hydrogen Technologies and Systems

About the course

Hydrogen, is the smallest, lightest and the most abundant element in the universe. It was discovered in the late 17:th century and was named after its ability to form water when burned. This property makes it a possible candidate for a future energy carrier since it can be produced by electrolysis of water and will only release water vapor when the energy is released again. There are also several other areas of use for Hydrogen. In many processes it can be used to replace fossil resources and can help to meet the climate challenges humankind is facing.

However the use of Hydrogen also comes with several challenges and to find out where and how to use hydrogen in the future a broad interdisciplinary understanding of the field is needed.

The course Hydrogen technologies and systems aim to give a broad understanding of possibilities and challenges with different applications of hydrogen. Including its role in the natural systems, industry processes as well as in future energy systems.

Tracks – a unique concept

These courses provide hands-on experience solving real-world problems, fostering a collaborative mindset, and expanding your professional network. Operating in close partnership with industry, society, and cutting-edge research, Tracks courses are also continuously changed to be as up to date as possible.

Collaboration and entrepreneurship

With a Tracks course, you will become better at collaborating with people from different countries and backgrounds. You will also learn more about ethics, communication, and entrepreneurship. These skills will equip you with a head start in working life. When you take a Tracks course, you also work in our brand-new makerspace: Fuse, which is a creative meeting place with 3D printers, a variety of studios, and workshops where your creativity can flourish.

If you have already attended Chalmers and chosen to take a Tracks course, you will have the advantage of familiarizing yourself with a current critical subject and building on your current knowledge. Together with other engineers, architects, and entrepreneurs of the future, you will gain new perspectives in your future professional life.

Most Tracks courses use Chalmers makerspace Fuse – a creative meeting place where education, research, industry and the community come together to test and implement ideas.
