<p>I was thinking of studying the production of hydrogen from waste as a masters project. It seems interesting but I’m not sure about the job outlook. I know that is it important to find new sources of energy but where exactly does someone who did a project on hydrogen work?</p>
<p>I don’t think you have much to worry about as the topic you’re choosing to study is both very pertinent and pragmatic.</p>
<p>Many opportunities for employment exist in industry, Shell being the self-purported leader of this technological advance.</p>
<p>From the Shell website:</p>
<p>“We are working with other energy companies to reduce the costs of manufacturing and retailing hydrogen. We have alliances with many of the worlds leading auto manufacturers to advance fuel cell technology and align the commercial roll-out of vehicles with the fuelling infrastructure.”</p>
<p>they also state:</p>
<p>"We fund hydrogen research at leading universities around the world. We are also supporting the development of fuel cell technology through venture capital funds in the USA and Europe.
"</p>
<p>This may sound disheartening to you but The Department of Energy recently stated that they would halt funding for hydrogen fuel cell vehicle research. Despite this, they are still contributing funds towards the development of “stationary fuel cell” applications and I would suggest looking for employment in this field.</p>
