Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Technology

When you study Energy Engineering, you can choose the specialisation in Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Technology (HYTEC).

When you study Energy Engineering, you can choose the specialisation in Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Technology (HYTEC).
During the specialisation in Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Technology, you will study energy systems based on hydrogen and fuel cell technology.
You will explore questions such as:
<ul>
<li>Should future vehicles be based on hydrogen propulsion systems?</li>
<li>How can the most cost-effective, energy optimised, hydrogen and fuel cell systems be developed?</li>
<li>Can we replace our present oil supply infrastructure with a hydrogen supply infrastructure? And how?</li>
<li>How can hydrogen and fuel cell systems be included in and help stabilise a future energy supply based on sustainable energy sources?</li>
<li>Which types of fuel cells are the most suitable for given applications? </li>
</ul>
To enable a sustainable and clean energy supply in the future, we need to depend less on fossil fuel reserves because it is more environmentally sustainable to promote the development of automotive, stationary and consumer applications powered by fuel cells. Fuel cells and hydrogen systems are important technologies that may make a positive impact on the global energy situation. 
The specialisation in Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Technology will give you an in-depth understanding of the technologies of fuel cell systems and hydrogen production and storage. The programme is multidisciplinary, integrating general engineering disciplines such as thermal systems, fluid dynamics, control engineering and electrical engineering.
The specialisation in Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Technology covers production of hydrogen, application of hydrogen in fuel cells, and interaction with other energy systems. Hydrogen technology is a very important aspect in future industrial energy supply systems as well as in the transport industry and energy storage systems.
In each semester (except for the last) you will spend half of your study time on course work, while the other half of your time will be spent on a semester project. Each semester has an overall theme, and within this theme you will complete a semester project with your project group, in which you investigate and attempt to solve a relevant issue within your field of study.
This is a full-time study programme with <a href="https://www.en.aau.dk/about-aau/profile/pbl">problem-based project work in groups</a>. You will be working closely with other students most of the time, and you will be required to be present at the university on a daily basis and for the vast majority of your day.
