COURSE OVERVIEW:

The meaning of green hydrogen production, storage, and infrastructure development refers to the creation of an entire energy value chain where hydrogen is generated via electrolysis using renewable electricity and subsequently managed as a zero-carbon fuel or feedstock. This course focuses on the technological shift from "Grey" hydrogen—produced from fossil fuels—to "Green" hydrogen, which serves as a critical vector for decarbonizing hard-to-abate sectors like heavy industry and shipping. By mastering the engineering of the hydrogen loop, participants can lead the transition toward a decentralized and sustainable energy economy.

The scope of this training covers the diverse range of electrolyzer technologies, including Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM), Alkaline, and Solid Oxide Electrolysis Cells (SOEC). It examines the technicalities of "Power-to-X" (P2X) pathways, where hydrogen is converted into ammonia, methanol, or synthetic fuels to solve the storage and transport challenges of gaseous hydrogen. The course provides a deep dive into the development of hydrogen "Hubs" and "Valleys," focusing on the repurposing of existing natural gas pipelines and the design of high-pressure storage and cryogenic liquefaction facilities.

Coverage includes the analysis of the "Levelized Cost of Hydrogen" (LCOH) and the impact of renewable capacity factors on electrolyzer economics. The course addresses the critical safety standards—such as ATEX and ISO—required for handling a highly flammable and diffusive gas, alongside the regulatory frameworks for hydrogen certification and "Guarantees of Origin." Participants will gain practical expertise in designing integrated hydrogen systems, evaluating grid-balancing applications, and formulating infrastructure roadmaps that align with national decarbonization targets.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

After completion of this course, the participants will be able to:

1.  Define the different "Colors" of hydrogen and the unique value of Green Hydrogen.

2.  Evaluate the performance of PEM, Alkaline, and Solid Oxide electrolyzers.

3.  Calculate the "Levelized Cost of Hydrogen" (LCOH) based on CAPEX and electricity price.

4.  Design the "Balance of Plant" (BoP) for a large-scale electrolysis facility.

5.  Analyze the economics of hydrogen storage: Compressed, Liquid, and LOHC.

6.  Assess the feasibility of hydrogen blending in existing natural gas networks.

7.  Understand the technical requirements for Green Ammonia and Methanol production.

8.  Navigate the global safety standards for hydrogen handling and infrastructure.

9.  Optimize the integration of electrolysis with variable wind and solar assets.

10.  Evaluate the role of hydrogen in "Long-Duration Energy Storage" (LDES).

11.  Implement "Guarantees of Origin" and carbon accounting for hydrogen products.

12.  Formulate a technical and financial roadmap for a hydrogen hub project.

TARGET AUDIENCE:

This course is designed for Energy Project Developers, Process Engineers, Sustainability Directors, Infrastructure Planners, Government Energy Advisors, and Investment Analysts in the renewable energy and chemical sectors.

TRAINING COURSE METHODOLOGY:

A highly interactive combination of lectures, discussion sessions, and case studies will be employed to maximize the transfer of information, knowledge, and experience. The course will be intensive, practical, and highly interactive. The sessions will start by raising the most relevant questions and motivating everybody to find the right answers. The attendants will also be encouraged to raise more of their questions and to share in developing the right answers using their analysis and experience. There will also be some indoor experiential activities to enhance the learning experience. Course material will be provided in PowerPoint, with necessary animations, learning videos, and general discussions.

The course participants shall be evaluated before, during, and at the end of the course.

COURSE CERTIFICATE:

National Consultant Centre for Training LLC (NCC) will issue an Attendance Certificate to all participants completing a minimum of 80% of the total attendance time requirement.
