Prerequisites and co-requisites
Assessment criteria
Satisfactory
- The student can use pain science approaches in osteopathy practice to solve pain management problems and recognize and analyze the benefits of pain science in osteopathy.
Good
- The student can gather, process, produce and evaluate knowledge of pain science; to use concepts of the area of expertise correctly, to solve problems in the field of pain science and osteopathic practice, to develop new viewpoints or solutions for osteopathy practice
Excellent
- The student can create a consistent knowledge base for osteopathy practice by making use of guidelines and scientific sources critically and analytically, using concepts of the area of expertise innovatively to solve demanding problems in the field of pain where new knowledge and competence are created to apply and combine information from different fields; to develop innovative insights or technological solutions into patient use and practice; to communicate about subject convincingly both orally and in writing to patients, audiences within and exterior to the field.
Approved / Failed
- Sufficient performance: has completed basic requirements to pass the course and has attempted to apply and articulate concepts and information verbally and in writing but has not made enough effort overall; the assignments and/or team projects are weak and require further input. The student has demonstrated little effort, interest, and motivation for class activities and course assignments.

Aims
The student is familiar with the concept and technologies of Power to X and is able to explain them in detail. The student understands how renewable energy and common raw materials (e.g. water, carbon dioxide, nitrogen) can be converted into fuels and chemicals for the chemical industry and society. The student understands the role of renewable energy and P2X technologies in the green transition. The student can identify the most typical P2X processes and products. The student is able to explain the details of P2X processes, conditions and products, as well as environmental aspects.
Contents
-Power-to-X basic concept: using renewable electricity and typical abundant chemicals such as water, carbon dioxide and nitrogen to create useful and valuable products.
-Renewable electricity to chemicals and fuels: introduction to the Power-to-X concept and infrastructure, raw materials (water electrolysis, carbon dioxide sources), overview of the production processes for hydrogen, synthetic hydrocarbons, methanol and green ammonia and their downstream processes. Products, challenges, sustainability, economics and future opportunities.
-Power to gas: different hydrogen production routes, fossil vs. renewable hydrogen, hydrogen and methane production processes via P2X routes.
-Power to liquid: production of liquid fuels directly from renewable electricity, water and carbon dioxide. Fischer-Tropsch and methanol synthesis processes, products (synthetic hydrocarbons, methanol and DME), applications and future potential.
-Power to chemicals: history and overview of the Haber-Bosch ammonia process. Alternative P2X processes for ammonia and formic acid production (processes, technology, applications and future exploitation potential).

Working
The course in Moodle is conducted in English and can be completed independently within the course period, without being tied to a specific time or place. The course consists of materials shared in Moodle (articles, lecture slides, recorded lectures, and other online resources), Moodle assignments, and exercises. All materials, as well as the assignments and exercises to be assessed, are completed and submitted in the Moodle workspace.
