About This Classroom Training
Hydrogen's unique molecular properties make it an ideal medium for storing large amounts of energy for extended periods and enabling the transportation of energy across countries and industry sectors. However, hydrogen production sites are often located in areas with favorable production conditions, such as low-cost electricity, water availability for electrolysis, natural gas with or without carbon capture capabilities, and other suitable resources. These production sites are rarely situated at or near the points of use, necessitating the storage and transportation of hydrogen from production to consumer sites.
This training course focuses on state-of-the-art solutions for hydrogen storage and transportation, encompassing technological, economic, and safety aspects. It highlights the challenges associated with the unique nature of hydrogen gas, including its low density, high tendency for leakage, and flammability, which impose stringent requirements on storage solutions.
Participants will gain comprehensive knowledge about the various methods for storing and transporting hydrogen, and the use of pipelines for transportation. The course will cover the technical details of these methods, including container types, balance of plant systems, geological storage options, and the operational aspects of filling and discharging containers. Moreover, the training will address the factors influencing the selection of appropriate storage and transportation methods, taking into account specific requirements, applications, and suitability considerations. Case studies and real-world examples, such as hydrogen refueling stations and industry standards like SAE J2601, will be discussed to provide practical insights.
This course will be delivered via face-to-face over 3-day sessions, comprising of 8 hours per day, 1 hour lunch and 2 breaks of 15 minutes per day. Course Duration: 24 hours in total, 24 CPD points. This course can also be delivered through Virtual Inspector Led Training.
