Please note! Course description is confirmed for two academic years (1.8.2018-31.7.2020), which means that in general, e.g. Learning outcomes, assessment methods and key content stays unchanged. However, via course syllabus, it is possible to specify or change the course execution in each realization of the course, such as how the contact sessions are organized, assessment methods weighted or materials used.

CONTENT, ASSESSMENT AND WORKLOAD

Content
  • Valid 01.08.2020-31.07.2022:

    There is a need for chemical energy carriers such as electro-fuels, biofuels and other renewable raw material based gaseous and liquid solutions. This course presents an overview of different new chemical energy carriers for transport applications with current regulations at European market and for energy storage. Course will present energy carrier scenarios from academia and industry. After the course, the students have wide understanding of the benefits and limitation of the different current and potential future energy carriers.
