Bochum researches the future: hydrogen for the global energy transition!
As part of the Steam Steam project, researchers from the Ruhr University of Bochum and the University of Duisburg-Essen have developed realistic scenarios for hydrogen production. This project, which took about three years, focuses on the sector transformation in the energy system and analyzes possible strategies for the integration of hydrogen as an energy source. With a newly developed global energy system model, the connection between the electricity and hydrogen sectors is illuminated. According to news.rub.de is intended to provide this model valuable findings for politics and the economy in order to promote the development of a global hydrogen economy. The management of the project is the responsibility of the renowned professors Dr. Valentin Bertsch and Dr. Christoph Weber.The Ruhr University Bochum, as the first university foundation after the war, plays a central role in this research project. The university's campus -like installation extends over an area of around 400 x 900 meters and is divided into four equally large rectangular fields that are assigned to various teaching areas. The cafeteria and audimax are located in the heart of the campus, while pedestrian and car traffic have been cleverly unknown. These details on the architecture and structure of the campus are decisive for the innovative strength that the location offers. As reports Baukunst-NRW , the university is visited by around 40,000 students and is therefore one of the ten largest universities in Germany. Their modern architecture and functionality were recognized in 2014 with an award for good buildings.
hydrogen technology as the key to the energy transition
The Steam project is not only important at the Ruhr University Bochum. It is directly related to the training of the upcoming growth of skilled workers in the field of hydrogen technologies. For example, the Technical University of Ingolstadt offers a master's degree in hydrogen technology and economy. This course aims to prepare graduates for the challenges of the energy and mobility transition and to convey a comprehensive understanding of the entire technology chain of hydrogen- from generation to storage and transport to applications. The students have the opportunity to pursue their lectures both online and on site, which enables flexible design of the course. Presence events are offered in compact phases in which the students can gain practical experience in the laboratory, so reports thi.de.
While the research at the Ruhr University Bochum has a decisive contribution to the development of possible hydrogen strategies, the connection between theory and practice is strengthened by courses such as the Ingolstadt University of Technology. This integrative approach is essential to fully exploit the potential of the hydrogen economy and make a sustainable contribution to the global energy transition.
