Clean Hydrogen for the Power and Utilities Sector

Comprehensive introduction to clean hydrogen and its growing role in the power and utilities sector as part of the global energy transition. Explores technical, commercial, and strategic aspects of hydrogen development — production pathways (green, blue, turquoise), the full value chain, project development, investment analysis and regulatory frameworks.

Session 1 — Context for Clean Hydrogen Projects Hydrogen Landscape (technical, business and organisational context) Technical context

• Technology risk in clean hydrogen processes

• Comparing the deliverability of competing solutions: green vs blue vs turquoise

• Operating requirements for green, blue and turquoise hydrogen

• Efficiency, equipment life and other factors Business context

• National Hydrogen Strategies (European and ASEAN) • Hydrogen targets and government supports

• End-to-end value chain considerations including transport options

• Competitive and market entry considerations

• Options to enhance revenue and share costs — scaling and multiple business streams

Organisational context

• Strategic alignment

• Becoming hydrogen ready

• Project governance and front-end planning

• Project delivery capability

• Location, land access, grid connectivity, supply chain complexity

Project Development Best Practices

• Project shaping (choosing the right project)

• Stakeholder alignment and project governance

• Front-end planning (CII PDRI reference)

• Team development and assuring outcomes

Fundamentals of Investment Analysis

• Economic indicators — NPV, IRR, Payback, Capital Efficiency

• Score model for assumptions

• Final investment decision: Capex, operating start-up, revenue, endurance

• Sensitivity and scenario analysis

• Financing options — corporate, investment partners, banks

• Government and regulatory factors

Session 2 — The Business Case for Clean Hydrogen Hydrogen Project Characteristics

• Technology development — piloting and scaling, agile within waterfall

• Supply chain — accessing infrastructure, securing supplies and offtakes

• Political support — local permitting, regional/national regulation

• Financing — historical gas parallels, leveraging green investment

Investment Case for Hydrogen

• Step-by-step creation of a basic Excel investment model

• Adapting the model for different technical/business contexts

• Adapting for financing alternatives, tax incentives and grants

• Testing competitiveness vs alternatives and competitors

• Scenario and sensitivity analysis

• Presenting the investment case for executive approval

• Quality of a good funding request

Session 3 — Clean Hydrogen Project Examples Detailed review and interactive discussion of investment cases and project development based on real-life European and ASEAN case studies:

• Hydrogen production — Gas SMR and Renewables Electrolysis

• Hydrogen Peak Power

• Integrated Renewable with Hydrogen Storage

• Carbon Capture and Storage
