Hydrogen Student Design Contest: Designing a Power-to-Gas System

The Hydrogen Student Design Contest challenges multi-disciplinary teams of university students to apply their creativity and academic skills in the areas of design, engineering, economics, environmental science, business and marketing to the hydrogen and fuel cell industries. The Contest is open to undergraduate and graduate students worldwide. Multiple teams from one institution are permitted.

The theme of the 2017-2018 Hydrogen Student Design Contest is “Designing a Power-to-Gas System.”

The 2017 Hydrogen Student Design Contest will challenge student teams from around the world to develop a design for a system that uses electricity to produce hydrogen for cross market uses, including energy storage, ancillary services, and transportation fuel. The teams will choose a site in their area, engage their local electric and gas utility, coordinate with regulatory bodies and safety experts, and create educational materials, including a short video.

For detailed Rules & Guidelines, see the Contest Rules page: http://www.hydrogencontest.org/rules.asp

The deadline for team registration is 15th September 2017, with final project submission by 31st January 2018. Register at www.hydrogencontest.org/register.asp

The Hydrogen Student Design Contest is open to undergraduate, graduate and Ph.D. students worldwide. Multiple teams from one institution are permitted, but students may not belong to more than one team, and teams must work independently.
