FRANCESE TRAININGS

Hydrogen Masterclass

A comprehensive training over the emerging hydrogen economy, covering all aspects of the hydrogen value chain. The course prepares participants starting from the basic understanding of hydrogen, its production and supply, transportation and use, as well as technical aspects around hydrogen. It then guides them to understand the business models emerging around hydrogen, as well as the policy and regulatory framework across multiple geographies. Finally, global approaches and future outlook of the emerging hydrogen economy are assessed to paint a picture of the future hydrogen economy

Hydrogen Market Entry Strategies

The course aims at preparing participants to design and implement market entries in the emerging hydrogen markets worldwide. The course first provides the necessary tools to select attractive hydrogen markets based on defined criteria and business goals of the company entering the market. It consequently defines different approaches to enter hydrogen markets based on the company starting point and comparative advantages, while also defining the business processes and team choices that would need to be made. In its last part, the course prepares participants for the different growth strategies possible and how these can be matched with the target markets and company goals

day 2 - MARKET ENTRY

• Approaches to market entry:

  • Direct entry/investment

  • Joint-ventures/acquisitions

  • Import/export

    (criteria for choice of approach, advantages and disadvantages, suitability to target market and alignment with company’s targets)

• Variables to assess for market entry (legal, tax, insurance, permitting, etc..)

• Design of business processes (options, advantages and disadvantages, approach, etc..)

• Team selection and composition (structure of departments and functions)

• Case studies (Europe and Asia)

GREEN Hydrogen Projects & Contracts

The hydrogen economy is taking shape across the globe in a variety of forms and possible project setups. Each of these project setups has corresponding contractual and operational aspects that need to be set with the right risk allocation to ensure the project is successful. This course prepares participants with the necessary knowledge and skills to choose the right contractual setup and to be able to negotiate the adequate risk allocation and related mitigation measures. It covers the possible green hydrogen project setups and the corresponding contractual structure from the procurement of green power to the transportation and sale of green hydrogen, therefore covering the entire value chain of each possible project setup. It provides participants with knowledge and skills that can be applied across geographies therefore preparing them for the global hydrogen market in the making

day 2 - Hydrogen Transportation

• Project setup for green hydrogen transport options:

  • Pure hydrogen pipelines

  • Blending in natural gas networks

• Fundamentals, technical aspects and possible setups

• Contractual setups:

  • Pure hydrogen transport contracts

  • Connection contracts to natural gas pipelines

  • Hydrogen transport in natural gas transport contracts

• Structure & terms and conditions (access to capacity, tariffs structures, operational rules for transportation, etc…), risk allocation and mitigation measures

Hydrogen Business Models

A deep-dive course on the business models emerging around the hydrogen economy across multiple sectors. Participants will gain the knowledge and business tools to better understand the emerging hydrogen economy and further tailor their own business models to succeed in it. The course is ideal for all those willing to learn more specifically about business models in hydrogen and better understand business risks and opportunities via the discussion of real-life cases and interaction with participants and the speaker

• H2 Production

  - Green, Blue and Grey Hydrogen

  - Technologies and Cost Competitiveness

• Business Models in H2 Production

• Business Models for H2 as a Fuel

  - Land Transport

  - Maritime Transport

  - Air Transport

• Business Models for H2 in Heating

• Business Models for H2 in Power Sector

• Summary

Hydrogen Policy

.The aim of the course is to provide participants with an in-depth understanding of hydrogen policy both in terms of the most effective approaches in defining it, as well as in terms of effective policy tools that can be put in place to support the development of a hydrogen economy. Effective approaches to hydrogen policy build on understanding key criteria that determine its effectiveness, and the tools that derive from such criteria. These are both covered in the course to provide participants comprehensive tools to design and implement effective hydrogen policies. In addition, the course assesses a variety of hydrogen policies that have been published recently to allow participants to gain first-hand understanding on how they are evolving worldwide, and what the outlook for hydrogen policy could be in the future also looking at the geopolitical effects of such policies

day 2 - Comparative Analysis of Hydrogen Policies and Outlook

• Case studies of hydrogen policies

- Australia

- Japan

- Korea

- Germany

- Netherlands

- European Union

• Lessons learne

• Policy outlook and geopolitical implications

• Summary of the course
