Overview
This module will start with an introduction to the potential roles green hydrogen can play in decarbonisation in the electricity, transportation and industrial sectors. Key national and EU policies and regulations relating to green hydrogen deployment will be described. The course will then review state-of-the-art hydrogen production, storage, transport and end-use technologies. Systematic design methods for green hydrogen systems, encompassing all elements of the value chain and how production interacts with renewable electricity production, will be covered.
Entry Requirements
Applicants must be over 21 years of age. This course is designed for graduates of Level 8 engineering programmes, who are employed or seeking employment in the energy sector. Applications can be considered using Recognition of Prior Learning.
What you will Learn
Students will learn how to conduct comprehensive techno economic analysis of green hydrogen systems. They will benchmark different system configurations on cost and environmental bases. Assessment will be through an individual mini-project on green hydrogen system design and techno economic analysis using a novel Excel-based tool developed at the University of Galway.
Learning Outcomes
- Identify potential roles for green hydrogen technologies in energy system decarbonisation.
- Explain relevant national, European and international strategies, policies, and regulations related to green hydrogen.
- Identify and distinguish the key components required in green hydrogen value chains.
- Design and size green hydrogen production, storage, and transportation components to meet given demand profiles.
- Calculate capital and operational expenses, net present value, and levelised cost of hydrogen for a range of value chain configurations.
- Calculate carbon and water footprints of hydrogen for a range of value chain configurations.
- Perform systematic sensitivity analysis on green hydrogen value chain configurations.
Assessments
- Continuous Assessment (100%)
