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.


This Course Includes:

  • Access to both sessions each lasting approximately three hours

  • All session recordings & any course materials covered during the course

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

  • Flexible access on any device

  • A certificate of attendance after full completion of the course

  • Mind The Gap – The premise

  • Unlocking Offshore Wind with Hydrogen – The infrastructure key

  • Realising the Market – establishing an appetite for long term demand

  • Analysis Refresher

    • Context and Shaping for the Hydrogen Business Case (Technical, Commercial, Political & Organisational)

    • Fundamentals of Investment Analysis: (Cash Flow Model, Assumptions and Economic Analysis)

    • Project Development Best Practices (Right project, done right)

  • Exemplars of Hydrogen Investment: (Set up for Case Studies using Spreadsheets)


Session 2: 13 November, 14:00-17:00 CET

Leveraging Examples from Electrolyser Projects

In depth analysis of a portfolio of refinery, petrochemical and UK’s HAR1 industry based electrolyser projects compared to the alternative of methane reforming with carbon capture.

A focus on the sensitivities associated with electrolyser based projects and the uncertainty in project costs and outcomes due to gaps in capacity growth, operating performance and learning curve costs and the impact on financing arrangement.

Focusing in the analysis on the realising the market on a case by case and industry basi


Session 3: 14 November, 14:00-17:00 CET

Leveraging Examples from Offshore Wind and Hydrogen Pipelines

An in depth analysis of the current status of green hydrogen production associated with existing and new offshore wind projects.

An exploration of offshore hydrogen technology and hydrogen export infrastructure development and options, particularly hydrogen pipelines that can bring large volumes of Clean Hydrogen to the market.

Focusing in the analysis on the realising the market on a case by case and industry basis

What Attendees Are Saying

Great overview with deep knowledge demonstrated over the course
— CEO, Bioarag
Slides were informative, good delivery from the trainer, and the technology worked well. Good idea to space it out over three days as it was less disruptive.
