Giga-scale Pathways for Low-Carbon Hydrogen

Secure your place

Hydrogen production will scale up by several orders of magnitude in the coming decades. Electrolysers are currently operating at 10 to 20MW and already we have plans for GW schemes. Similar scaleup leaps are proposed for thermal hydrogen production processes.

This course will explain the current and proposed low-carbon Giga-scale thermal hydrogen production technologies such as ATR, POX and pyrolysis. The best-fit criteria to apply each of these technologies will be discussed. Some, but perhaps not all the technology options will become mainstream routes for hydrogen production in future decades.

Spotting the right technologies early can mean the difference between a good and an excellent project. If you are investing in the hydrogen economy or considering technologies to implement, thinking through the pros and cons of various options will be fundamental to your decision making. This course will provide some insights support that process.


This course includes:

  • An engaging virtual training session lasting approximately three hours

  • Interactive format with dedicated Q&A sections with the expert trainer

  • Session recording & pdf file of the presentation used during the session

  • Flexible access from modern mobile and desktop devices

  • A certificate of attendance on completion of the session


Agenda

Attend live or watch the recordings. Each session includes dedicated Q&A sections throughout.

  • Methane splitting (pyrolysis / cracking) – turquoise hydrogen

  • ATR and POX for natural gas conversion to hydrogen

  • Biomass, coal and petcoke gasification

  • Combining these pathways with CCUS to produce low-carbon hydrogen - blue and purple hydrogen


Meet the trainer

Stephen B. Harrison is the founder and managing director at sbh4 GmbH in Germany. His work focuses on decarbonisation and greenhouse gas emissions control. Hydrogen and CCS are fundamental pillars of his consulting practice.

With a background in industrial and specialty gases, including 27 years at BOC Gases, The BOC Group and Linde Gas, Stephen has intimate knowledge of hydrogen and carbon dioxide from commercial, technical, operational and safety perspectives. His expertise extends to the full length of the value chain from production, purification, distribution and storage through to utilisation. For 14 years, he was a global business leader in these FTSE100 and DAX30 companies and had the opportunity to appreciate how businesses function and how people communicate around the world.

 Stephen has extensive buy-side and sell-side M&A due diligence experience in the energy and clean-tech sectors. In addition to supporting multi-billion Euro mega-transactions, he has advised numerous transactions involving the German 'Mittelstand‘ and European cross-border mid-market deals. Private Equity firms and investment fund managers are regular clients, gaining renewable energy sector insights to support asset allocation decisions.

As a member of the H2 View and gasworld editorial advisory boards, Stephen advises the direction of editorial content for these two leading international publications. In addition to writing editorial feature articles he specialises in C-level interviews. Working with Environmental Technology Publications, he is a member of the scientific committee for CEM 2023 - the leading international conference for continuous emissions monitoring and air quality.


What Attendees Are Saying

The best part of the training was the level of engagement from the trainer; he was very clear in his explanations and was taking the time to answer all queries from trainees.

Slides were informative, good delivery from the trainer, and technology worked well. Good idea to space it out over three days as it was less disruptive.
