About the Course
This program explores the technical, operational, and economic aspects of green hydrogen for industrial decarbonization. Participants examine the full value chain—renewable electricity generation, electrolysis, storage, transport, and industrial application. The course emphasizes where green hydrogen adds measurable net-zero impact, practical feasibility, and safety considerations.
Through lectures and applied exercises, participants leave equipped to assess, plan, and implement hydrogen solutions in industry.
“Green hydrogen is a key enabler of industrial decarbonization. This course connects technical knowledge with operational feasibility and safety, helping participants develop actionable industrial strategies.”
Why This Topic Matters
Hard-to-abate industrial sectors account for a substantial share of global emissions. Hydrogen enables decarbonization where electrification is insufficient:
- Replacing fossil-based feedstock in ammonia, refining, and chemicals
- Providing high-temperature process heat in steel and manufacturing
- Integrating storage and energy systems to smooth renewable variability
- Supporting lifecycle-informed emission reductions
Understanding the technical and economic constraints of hydrogen deployment is essential for industry professionals, policymakers, and researchers driving net-zero agendas.
What Participants Will Learn
• Map industrial emissions and identify decarbonization opportunities
• Understand hydrogen production technologies and renewable integration
• Evaluate storage, transport, and blending strategies
• Apply lifecycle and carbon accounting to assess project impact
• Analyze operational and economic feasibility of hydrogen projects
• Recognize safety, materials, and risk considerations
• Design sector-specific implementation plans
Course Structure
Module 1 — Net-Zero Industry & Hard-to-Abate Sectors
- Industrial emissions mapping: fuel, process, and supply-chain sources
- Identifying “hard-to-abate” sectors: steel, cement, chemicals, refining
- Where green hydrogen adds value and where it is not optimal
Module 2 — Storage and Transport, Getting Hydrogen Where It’s Needed
- Storage options: compressed gas, liquid hydrogen (conceptual), and solid/chemical carriers.
- Transport pathways: pipelines, trucking, on-site production vs centralized hubs.
- Blending with natural gas: what it can do and what it cannot solve.
- Refining and chemicals: hydrogen demand centers and decarbonization pathways.
Module 3 — Implementation Pathways and Roadmaps
- Building a roadmap: pilots → scaling → full integration.
- On-site vs off-site production decisions and phased deployment strategies.
- How to communicate projects to stakeholders: technical case + carbon case + risk case.
