Description	This module will supply insight into the political and economical context of the 'Hydrogen Economy'. This includes applications of hydrogen and its markets, the companies involved in supplying and handling hydrogen, and their business cases. We will also look at the regulations, codes, and standards (RCS) that apply to hydrogen and fuel cells. We will cover: - hydrogen related policies in the EU, UK, and globally - the role of hydrogen in the decarbonisation of the energy system, transport and industry - suppliers, distributors, sales and applications of hydrogen - regulations, codes, and standards applying to hydrogen and fuel cells The module builds on previous knowledge gathered in hydrogen and fuel cell related modules and is intended as an add-on covering high-level issues of hydrogen implementation.
Learning Outcomes	By the end of the module students should be able to: Explain and critically assess the potential, benefits, boundary conditions, and prospects of employing hydrogen technology today and in future markets Describe the political and economic context and boundary conditions under which hydrogen and fuel cell technologies are being deployed. Be able to assess the complex contribution hydrogen can offer to the decarbonisation of the energy system. Assess the appropriateness of hydrogen technology in reaching real and net zero carbon goals. Communicate information, concepts, issues and their resolutions to specialists and non-specialists.
