About this Virtual Instructor Led Training (VILT)
In energy markets which are increasingly embracing both decarbonisation and ‘electrification’, the need for larger amounts of new, clean generating capacity is set to grow substantially. The majority of this capacity is likely to be renewable sources such as solar and wind. However, there is an increasing recognition that ‘firm’ and ‘flexible’ power supply will be essential to balancing these variable sources. This opens up a key role for clean fuels – such as hydrogen.
This 3 half-day Virtual Instructor Led Training (VILT) course will provide participants with a comprehensive and up-to-date introduction to the prospects for hydrogen in future power mixes. Participants will also gain a clear description of the key technologies in language easily accessible to non-engineers. The market will be reviewed, illustrated by project examples and policy and strategy announcements, and hydrogen’s competitive positioning will be examined and analyzed.
By the end of this VILT course, participants will be able to:
- Assess the market prospects for hydrogen power generation
- Learn how key vendors are preparing their products for hydrogen power
- Identify the technology challenges in moving from gas to hydrogen turbines
- Review the current status of fuel cell power generation
- Track which hydrogen power projects have been recently created or announced
- Understand how hydrogen storage technology is inherently linked to hydrogen power generation
- Analyse whether hydrogen power will replace centralised power generation or augment distributed power
- Quantify the timescales for a transition from hydrogen blends to 100% hydrogen
- Assess whether low efficiency is a competitive killer for hydrogen’s power generation prospects
- Review the extent to which future power mix scenarios and models include hydrogen power
This VILT course is intended for professionals in commercial and business-focused roles, including business development, strategy planning, investment, procurement as well as accounting/finance.
The VILT will be delivered online in 3 half-day sessions comprising 4 hours per day, including time for lectures, discussion, quizzes and short classroom exercises.
Course Duration: 3 half-day sessions, 4 hours per session (12 hours in total).

Despite having kept up with news and reports on all things hydrogen, the insights and knowledge gained from the trainer was very helpful. The way the VILT course was structured enhanced what I already know and gave me more perspectives to consider when thinking about the growing hydrogen economy. Definitely would be sharing what I've learnt with colleagues!
