Secure your place!
This hands-on course is designed to equip professionals in the hydrogen sector with a clear understanding of greenhouse gas (GHG) quantification across the hydrogen lifecycle. Structured around real-world practices, it empowers participants to apply carbon accounting in certification processes, strategy development, and emissions reduction initiatives.
Over four 1.5-hour modules (totalling 6 hours over two days), participants will explore tools, standards, and methodologies aligned with ISO 19870, ISO 14067, ISO 14044, and the GHG Protocol. Through engaging discussions, hands-on group exercises, and collaborative analysis, participants will gain practical skills to navigate hydrogen carbon accounting, uncover opportunities for innovation, and drive meaningful improvements in their projects and organisations.
Over two days you will…
Understand the role of carbon accounting in hydrogen market dynamics.
