Course detail
FSI-LMEAcad. year: 2022/2023
The course will discuss topics that reflect current trends in the energy sector. The course is divided into three parts. The first part will be devoted to CCS and CCU technologies, which are technologies related to the capture of carbon dioxide released during combustion processes. The next part of the course will focus on the new field of hydrogen energy and energy storage - power to X (gas, heat...) systems. The last part will be devoted to the topic of nuclear energy.
