A basic knowledge of the following disciplines is desirable: - Fluid Mechanics - Thermodynamics

The objectives of this course can be summarized as: - Identify an energy vector - Identify the energy sources, with emphasis on renewable thermal energies - Develop the capacity to analyze the efficiency of an energy vector to transfer energy - To acquire a knowledge of the characteristics of the main energy vectors, including production, storage and use: - electricity - hydrogen - synthetic fuels and biofuels (methanol, ethanol, biodiesel, etc.) - Ammonia

This course is devoted to the analysis of different energy vectors, considering especially the case of hydrogen. In all cases the course will deal with production, storage, transport and use. In the case of hydrogen, a more in-depth analysis will be provided, given its especial characteristics. The content of the course can be summarized as: - Sources of Energy and energy vectors. Electricity, hydrogen, ammonia, methanol, ethanol, synthetic fuels. - Electricity - Hydrogen - Uses (Combustion, fuel cells, industry) - Production - Storage - Transport - Ammonia - Methanol - Ethanol and synthetic fuels (gasoline, diesel, SAF)
