CONTENT, ASSESSMENT AND WORKLOAD

Content

  • valid for whole curriculum period:

    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.
