This training course aims to provide the practical foundations required to integrate green hydrogen into your energy transition strategy. By adopting this approach, it is possible to achieve carbon neutrality while maintaining technical and economic performance.
1. Introduction to hydrogen: why hydrogen?
• Initial quiz to assess current knowledge
• What is hydrogen? Overview of hydrogen’s properties as an energy source, its applications, and its role in the energy transition.
2. The Different “Colors” of Hydrogen
• The hydrogen color spectrum: grey, blue, turquoise, and green hydrogen.
• Explanation of the different hydrogen categories and their environmental impact, with a particular focus on green hydrogen.
3. Hydrogen Production Processes
• Production methods: detailed review of the various technologies used to produce hydrogen (electrolysis, reforming, etc.), including the advantages and disadvantages of each.
4. Hydrogen Storage, Transport and Applications
• Hydrogen logistics: overview of hydrogen storage and transportation systems, as well as practical applications across different industrial sectors.
5. Focus on Green Hydrogen
• What is green hydrogen?
• Introduction to hydrogen produced from renewable energy sources and its importance in reducing CO₂ emissions
6. Green Hydrogen Production
• Why green hydrogen?
• Technologies and infrastructure: detailed explanation of the technologies used to produce green hydrogen, with a focus on technical challenges and available solutions.
7. Benefits and Challenges of Green Hydrogen
• Opportunities and constraints: discussion of the advantages of green hydrogen (emission reduction, sustainable development) and the associated challenges (costs, infrastructure, dependence on renewable energy sources).
8. Comparison: Grey Hydrogen vs. Green Hydrogen
• Cost-benefit analysis: comparison between grey hydrogen, which is more polluting and less expensive to produce, and green hydrogen, which is more environmentally friendly but involves higher initial costs.
9. Layouts and Components of a Hydrogen Production Facility
• Infrastructure overview: presentation of the key components of a green hydrogen production facility (electrolyzer, storage systems, distribution equipment).
• Regulations and safety requirements for hydrogen infrastructure.
10. Real-World Examples: Existing Green Hydrogen Production Plants
• Case studies: exploration of existing projects and large-scale green hydrogen production facilities around the world.
11. Occitania’s Commitment to Green Hydrogen
• Regional focus: overview of local initiatives supporting green hydrogen development in Occitania, as well as upcoming innovative projects.
12. Case Studies and Future Outlook – The Future of Green Hydrogen
Case studies on the adoption of green hydrogen across various industrial sectors (transportation, energy, etc.) and medium- to long-term prospects for businesses.
• Energy impact of green hydrogen production and comparison with other production methods.
• Land-use impact of green hydrogen production and comparison with other production methods.
• Environmental impact of green hydrogen production and comparison with other production methods.
• Economic impact of green hydrogen production and comparison with other production methods.
• Overall impact assessment of green hydrogen production and comparison with alternative production methods.
• Discussion on the development of green hydrogen at your own site.
