Hydrogen is a hot topic nowadays. Why? Because society must find solutions to reduce its impact on climate change and because there is now a political will (in Europe) to develop a hydrogen economy. The mobility sector, and in particular the heavy mobility, is concerned by this transformation. After some general information about hydrogen production and the hydrogen economy, you will gain a deep understanding of the hydrogen solution for mobility. We will explore both the fuel cells and the hydrogen thermal engine solutions as a mean to reduce the environmental footprint of heavy mobility.
Our focus is mostly technical and aims at three objectives. At the end of this module, you will be able to:
- describe the working principle of a fuel cell, from the reaction to the fuel stack and the fuel cell vehicle.
- explain the chemical characteristics of hydrogen that influence combustion, how they impact performances and the technical developments needed to improve hydrogen combustion engines
- compare solutions and identify the main development constraints.
Chapters:
- General Hydrogen & Hydrogen for mobility context
- Hydrogen Internal combustion engine
- Fuel Cell Vehicles
