Access all recordings and slides through the World Hydrogen Leaders platform with a premium membership.
The hydrogen economy is taking shape across the globe in a variety of forms and possible project setups. Each of these project setups has corresponding contractual and operational aspects that need to be set with the right risk allocation to ensure the project is successful.
This course prepares participants with the necessary knowledge and skills to choose the right contractual setup and to be able to negotiate the adequate risk allocation and related mitigation measures. It covers the possible green hydrogen project setups and the corresponding contractual structure from the procurement of green power to the transportation and sale of green hydrogen, therefore covering the entire value chain of each possible project setup. It provides participants with knowledge and skills that can be applied across geographies therefore preparing them for the global hydrogen market in the making.
The course is ideal for participants working across hydrogen projects across the entire hydrogen value chain, working in commercial, technical, regulatory, policy, strategy-related and planning functions. It is also aimed at personnel of organizations working across production, transportation and supply/sale of hydrogen in one or multiple geographies.

Meet the Trainer
Cristiano Francese has over a decade of work experience in the energy business. Throughout his career, he worked across regulatory and policy development, as well as commercial and business development activities. He worked closely with governments and energy regulatory agencies and supported their capacity development, analysis and policy development. His key areas of expertise include energy regulation and policy development, as well as structuring of commercial agreements for large energy infrastructure projects, business development and strategy activities.
Mr. Francese contributed to the success of multiple organizations spanning from government and international institutions to major energy companies. He advised governments and international institutions on how to reform energy regulation in multiple countries in order to develop a fully functioning and competitive energy market. He contributed to the definition and negotiation of major commercial contracts in natural gas transportation, notably to the Trans Adriatic Pipeline project, by providing risk analyses and by defining ptions for the structuring of commercial contracts.
He has also advised European energy regulators on the measures needed to support the development of renewable gasses such as hydrogen and biogas.
