Upon successful completion of this course, the students will acquire new knowledge on:

1. energy materials like Natural Gas, Biogas and Hydrogen (including their basic properties).
2. methods and technologies for their production, transportation, and storage, technological innovations and research trends for advanced utilization of energy materials to upgraded chemicals and energy friendly to the environment.
3. designing gas network systems (pipes, pumps, etc.).
4. technical solutions friendly to the environment for utilization of energy materials/upgraded products.

• Review, analysis and synthesis of data and information, with the use of necessary technologies
• Project design and management
• Work in interdisciplinary environment
