An in depth analysis of the business case and investment analysis for the current batch of electrolyser based projects and associated hydrogen infrastructure. The themes of the session are threefold:
‘Mind the Gap’: the difference between hope and reality for electrolyser based projects due to gaps due to capacity growth, operating performance and learning curve costs ; and hence the gap between hope of financial investment decisions and financial closure with reality of many fewer than expected achieving FID
‘Unlocking Offshore Wind with Hydrogen’ through the delivery of pipeline infrastructure.
‘Realising the Market’ with demand and appetite to pay for using a clean fuel on a sustainable basis
The assessment and implications of these gaps are considered across a number of different applications and regional demands for hydrogen. A focus is made on the large number of refinery, petrochemical and industrial projects; and the range of infrastructure plans to compare progress.
This course is intended for those seeking a time-effective, wide-ranging and independent perspective on opportunities within the rapidly growing market for clean hydrogen.
You will leave with a clearly explained, business-focused perspective on clean hydrogen investment opportunities. Over three information-packed sessions, this online course will provide attendees with a solid grounding in preparing and presenting an investment case for hydrogen taking account of the key technology, commercial, political and organisational issues. The economics of hydrogen will be illustrated using quantitative calculations and spreadsheet models. The market opportunities and differing approaches and challenges to delivering hydrogen projects will be discussed with reference to project examples and hands on analysis using a basic investment model, testing alternatives and developing scenarios.
Course Benefits:
Gain a clearer value based understanding of green hydrogen market opportunities
Clear explanations of economic value, metrics and investment analysis (in language accessible to technical and business people)
Discover the key project shaping and assessment issues for hydrogen projects
Understand the key variables and assumptions that impact the investment case for hydrogen (illustrated using shared basic investment models in Excel)
Takeaway a raised understanding of your investment case with the capability of developing further for your specific context.
