Aim
Green Hydrogen: Powering Industries Towards Net-Zero Emissions trains participants to understand how green hydrogen is produced, stored, transported, and integrated into industrial systems to reduce emissions. You’ll learn the end-to-end value chain (renewables → electrolysis → conditioning → storage/transport → end-use), techno-economic drivers, safety fundamentals, and decarbonization use cases across hard-to-abate sectors—so you can plan realistic hydrogen pathways toward net-zero.
Program Objectives
- Understand the Hydrogen Landscape: Green vs blue/grey hydrogen and why “green” matters for net-zero.
- Learn Production Pathways: Electrolysis types, renewable integration, and operational considerations.
- Build Value Chain Literacy: Compression, liquefaction, pipelines, carriers (ammonia/LOHC) basics.
- Assess Industrial Use Cases: Steel, refining, fertilizers, chemicals, power, shipping, and heavy mobility.
- Evaluate Projects: Key KPIs, costs, efficiency, carbon intensity, and system constraints.
- Safety & Standards Awareness: Hazards, handling, and risk controls for hydrogen systems.
- Plan Net-Zero Roadmaps: Identify feasible adoption pathways and transition strategies.
- Hands-on Application: Develop a mini hydrogen adoption plan for a target industry facility.
