Fuel of the future: hydrogen - independent and fair?
Lecture for students in year 10 and above
We need energy - for ourselves and our everyday lives. Be it for the smartphone or the plane for the vacation trip.
But can renewable energies such as wind and solar power alone reliably cover our energy needs? And how can we store energy from the sun or wind? Small amounts of renewable energy/electricity can be stored in batteries. But to store large quantities for a long time, we need a fuel that is safe and easy to store. The solution: hydrogen! Electricity and hydrogen are two ways of making energy from the sun and wind available to us without leaving "traces" in the environment.
Our lecture will show how hydrogen is produced, stored and what it can be used for. For example, as a chemical base material for the production of fertilizer or as a raw material for clothing and plastics or even as an energy source for fuels such as kerosene and petrol and much more ...
The lecture as part of Hydrogen Week is intended to demonstrate the properties of hydrogen using various experiments. The two professors Saskia Biehl and Birgit Scheppat will carry out experiments in the one-hour lecture and, among other things, produce and store hydrogen and shed light on its properties.
Registration is possible until June 1, 2026 at azare@hs-rm.de, stating whether participation will take place on site or online.
