Hydrogen Energy Application and Safety Consideration

Summary

Hydrogen gas has the potential to play a key role in the future of green energy. Carbon-free energy is essentially required to reduce the greenhouse gases (GHG). These emissions are the main reason for the climate change. Therefore, employing hydrogen in domestic and industrial purposes is one of the crucial challenges today for decarbonisation. There are many hydrogen and hybrid projects to reduce or eliminate CO2 gases. In addition, there is no difficulties in igniting hydrogen as it also burns with wide range of mixtures compared to other fuels. Consequently, hydrogen is gradually becoming a leading fuel for transport, domestic, and industrial applications. The project will focus on the fundamental understanding on the auto-ignition property and combustion instability of hydrogen fuel under the practical applications.

Applicants to research degree programmes should normally have at least a first class or an upper second class British Bachelors Honours degree (or equivalent) in an appropriate discipline. The criteria for entry for some research degrees may be higher, for example, several faculties, also require a Masters degree. Applicants are advised to check with the relevant School prior to making an application. Applicants who are uncertain about the requirements for a particular research degree are advised to contact the School or Graduate School prior to making an application.

The minimum English language entry requirement for research postgraduate research study is an IELTS of 6.0 overall with at least 5.5 in each component (reading, writing, listening and speaking) or equivalent. The test must be dated within two years of the start date of the course in order to be valid. Some schools and faculties have a higher requirement.
