Creating an understanding of the importance of hydrogen as a fuel. Beginning with its basic physical and chemical properties, this course culminates in the latest breakthroughs around this highly versatile clean technology.

The purpose of this programme is to introduce the evolution of hydrogen fuel cells and hydrogen technologies for use today.
