Key Learning Objectives

• To understand commercial considerations involving offshore wind and the integration of hydrogen into a new generation of mega projects
• To learn the techniques for development and maintenance of offshore wind and hydrogen as part of the net zero agenda
• To understand practical risks and opportunities associated with the production and use of offshore wind and especially the production of hydrogen.
• To appreciate the challenges around the offshore wind and hydrogen industry
• Fixed and floating designs and their integration with hydrogen production
• To learn about real-world projects integrating offshore wind and hydrogen
• Understand the differing perspectives of the investor, the operator, the customer and government Recognise political and diplomatic implications of international trade in green hydrogen including recent trends.
• Review design, storage, and hydrogen transportation considerations
• Discover the characteristics that broaden yet constrain the commercial and technical links in the ‘supply chain’.
• Consider various options for offshore wind and hydrogen market developments.

About the Course

The offshore wind and hydrogen sector is expected to grow significantly across the globe in the coming years. The UK, for example, recently set a target to produce forty gigawatts of offshore wind and so will require a vast supply chain encompassing turbine foundations and cabling infrastructure. Five gigawatts of hydrogen is also projected by 2030, representing a 40-fold increase within nine years for that sector.

The journey to a renewable, circular and low-carbon economy (facilitated with electrons, hydrogen and other technologies), will be challenging and the very top priority will be that it is implemented and delivered safely. This course details how global leaders can assist. Developers and stakeholders require their people and supply chain to possess the necessary skills and competencies to deliver hybrid offshore wind, solar, and hydrogen projects safely, on time and with the highest quality standards.

The course aims to enable companies and stakeholders to be aware of the fundamentals of offshore wind and hydrogen What it is and what it means for the future? What decisions and plans are likely to be made based on the real opportunities that are emerging? Participants will be guided as to where early opportunities are most likely to lie, who is involved and how to engage.

Who Will Benefit

Existing companies particularly those who are already part of the supply chain and those looking to future-proof their capabilities. Project developers seeking to decarbonise and source, green power, financiers and the construction industry. Construction, OEM’s and balance of plant organisations.

Particularly relevant to engineering companies, those involved in storage compression equipment and shipping as well as those seeking to enter the energy arena with its myriad opportunities in a market set for exponential growth. The course will also benefit stakeholders from government, finance and consenting and those wishing to understand the realities of offshore wind and hydrogen production.
