Maths into Hydrogen is a day where students get the chance to learn about how we can use Hydrogen, the most abundant element in our universe, to power our homes, cars, and schools.
The students work in teams to work through mathematical problems within the current energy industry, and calculate the energy requirements for a village. They learn about the infrastructure required, make their own Hydrogen gas with an electrolysis experiment, and put into practise how a Hydrogen fuel cell works to power our vehicles. With all of this in mind, they use a map of the village to plan where the facilities should be built so that the village can produce enough and sustainably run off green Hydrogen.
Maths into Hydrogen was kindly sponsored by bp and hosted by OEUK.
