COURSE OVERVIEW:

Hydrogen is emerging as a key pillar for decarbonizing power generation, transportation, and hard-to-abate industrial sectors. This course provides a structured overview of low-carbon hydrogen production pathways, storage and distribution options, and the enabling policies and infrastructure needed for large-scale deployment. Participants will examine the decarbonization potential of hydrogen, compare production technologies such as electrolysis and reforming with carbon capture and storage, and evaluate techno-economic and lifecycle tradeoffs. The course also addresses the practical challenges associated with building hydrogen value chains and deploying hydrogen solutions at scale in real markets.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

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

1. Review the role of hydrogen in decarbonizing existing energy systems, including power, transport, and industry.
2. Describe the main technology pathways for low-carbon hydrogen production, including electrolysis, reforming with carbon capture and storage, and alternative routes.
3. Examine techno-economic and cost drivers associated with different hydrogen production options.
4. Recognize the tradeoffs between generation pathways in terms of cost, emissions, resource use, and scalability.
5. Discuss the importance of sustainability, lifecycle emissions, and certification frameworks for low-carbon hydrogen.
6. Assess technology alternatives for hydrogen storage, transport, and distribution across different scales and applications.
7. Discuss the importance of deploying hydrogen solutions at scale and identify key enablers for infrastructure, markets, and policy.
8. Interpret practical case examples of hydrogen projects to understand real-world opportunities and challenges.

TRAINING COURSE METHODOLOGY:

A highly interactive combination of lectures and discussion sessions, as well as case studies, will be managed to maximize the amount and quality of information, knowledge, and experience transfer. The course will be intensive but 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 learning. Course material will be provided in PowerPoint, with necessary animations, learning videos, and general discussions.

The course participants shall be evaluated before, during, and after 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.
