Chemical Technologies for the Energy Transition with Laboratory

The course explores advanced methods and innovative chemical technologies for the exploitation, conversion, and storage of energy sources, with a focus on renewables. It also examines market trends, providing tools for critical evaluation and comparison of the performance of different methods and devices.

Students will learn how to conjugate the scientific and technical approach for the exploitation of energy sources with the environmental and economic/industrial issues. Students will be able to discuss pros and cons of different processes aimed at the same final product (e.g. hydrogen production and storage, electricity production, distribution and storage).
