PDC103520 - Hydrogen Fundamentals and Safety

Course Details

Course Summary

Interest in hydrogen is increasing rapidly globally and many industries are actively investigating how they can re-use existing infrastructure (where possible), or invest in new technologies, to develop the use of hydrogen powered vehicles in order to phase out the reliance on fossil fuels and reduce the impact on climate change. This online micro-credential will outline why hydrogen is emerging as a low-emissions energy source, and how it can be used across multiple industries. It will also provide an overview of the fundamentals of this emergent technology and will outline the various types of hydrogen, their production methods and advantages and challenges of hydrogen use. Australian Safety Standards will be reviewed and the course will outline various case studies demonstrating hydrogen application in multiple industry sectors. 

This is a non-creditable micro-credential which is awarded a digital badge and Certificate of Completion which can be shared to your social networks and displayed in your professional portfolio.

Our micro-credentials are aligned to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

Course Structures

Study Mode Definitions

  • Online: Online courses provide the flexibility to study without normally requiring a student to visit a campus. Course content is studied through a number of means including the use of online discussion forums, electronic library resources, by contacting lecturers and teachers, and receiving study materials online/electronically. Work integrated learning, including placements, may be included in some courses.
  • On-campus: Students studying in on-campus mode typically are expected to attend and participate in regular, structured on-campus teaching and learning activities throughout the University’s academic term. These activities may include lectures, tutorials, workshops and practice, online or other activities and normally will be timetabled at a CQUniversity campus or approved delivery site.
  • Mixed Mode: Students studying in mixed mode will participate in a combination of online learning activities in addition to site-specific learning activities, which may include residential schools, co-op placements and/or work-integrated learning as a compulsory requirement of a unit. The additional site-specific learning activities are what differentiates a mixed-mode unit from an online unit.

*All study modes may include Vocational placement and/or work integrated learning.
