This course is intended for those seeking a time-effective, wide-ranging and independent perspective on project best practices within the rapidly growing market for clean hydrogen
The purpose of the course is to raise participants awareness of project best practices which can add confidence that the right project is being developed; and that in project shaping and front-end planning prior to the Final Investment Decision (FID), the project will be done right and have the greatest chance of success in terms of cost, schedule, operability, and benefits.
You will leave with a clearly explained, business-focused perspective on clean hydrogen project best practices. Over three information-packed sessions, this online course will provide attendees with a solid grounding in utilising project best practices for hydrogen. The project best practices will be explained and will be illustrated using practical examples.
The session will cover the following aspects:
Project Shaping - choosing the right project
Project Front End Planning - setting up the project to be done right
Hydrogen Project characteristics - covering Technology development, Supply Chain including Infrastructure and Commercial Offtakes, Political Support, and Financing
Hydrogen Project Examples - covering an Industrial Cluster/Valley, Refining, Petrochemicals/Ammonia, and Steel
The market opportunities and differing approaches and challenges to delivering hydrogen projects will be discussed with reference to project examples and hands on examination of a project cases.
