What PRINCE2 is, where it came from, and how its principles, themes and processes fit together as a project management method.
The history of hydrogen energy, from Henry Cavendish identifying it as a distinct gas to its early use in balloons and town gas and its modern role in clean energy.
The key physical and chemical properties of hydrogen, why it is an energy carrier rather than a source, and the safety issues linked to its flammability and low density.
The main methods of hydrogen production, including steam methane reforming, water electrolysis and biological routes, and how each one works.
Current and future trends in the hydrogen energy market, driven by government incentives, new technology such as advanced electrolysers and fuel cells, and investment.
The hydrogen colour spectrum from green to pink, and how each colour is defined by its production method and carbon footprint.
How green hydrogen is made by electrolysis using renewable electricity, and why it is seen as a key technology for decarbonisation.
What it will take to scale up green hydrogen, and how it could decarbonise hard-to-electrify sectors in transport and industry.
How electrolysers split water into hydrogen and oxygen, and the main electrolyser technologies in use today.
Real-world green hydrogen projects and examples showing how electrolysis and renewable power are being combined at scale.
How blue hydrogen is produced from natural gas by steam methane reforming or autothermal reforming combined with carbon capture and storage.
Examples of blue hydrogen projects under development as industry moves toward a low-carbon economy.
How steam methane reforming produces hydrogen from natural gas, the most common hydrogen production route worldwide.
How carbon capture and storage captures CO2 from industrial sources and stores it underground, and its role in blue hydrogen.
What industrial clusters are, and why grouping industries like cement, steel and chemicals supports shared hydrogen and carbon capture infrastructure.
How hydrogen is stored as compressed gas, the pressures and vessels used, and the trade-offs of compression as a storage method.
How hydrogen is liquefied by cooling it to cryogenic temperatures to cut its volume for storage and transport, and the energy cost involved.
How hydrogen can be stored chemically by bonding it into carriers such as metal hydrides, ammonia or liquid organic carriers, and released when needed.
A side-by-side comparison of hydrogen storage methods, weighing the advantages and disadvantages of compression, liquefaction and chemical storage.
An overview of the main ways to move hydrogen, including pipelines, road tankers and ships, and the role transport plays in building a hydrogen economy.
How hydrogen is transported by pipeline, and the key design and material issues for hydrogen pipeline networks.
How hydrogen is shipped by sea as liquid hydrogen or in carrier forms such as ammonia, and why shipping is emerging as an option for international hydrogen trade.
The benefits and challenges of each hydrogen transport method, comparing pipelines, trucks and ships on cost, distance, volume, energy losses and safety.
Course wrap-up recapping robotics concepts, equipment, articulated robots, brands and the business and safety issues of industrial automation.
Hydrogen is in almost every energy transition plan. Far fewer people can explain how it is made, stored and moved, or why the colour label matters.
Green or blue is not a branding choice. It decides the carbon intensity, the cost, the plant and the infrastructure behind the project.
This course walks the full hydrogen value chain in plain terms, from production through storage to transport, so you can follow a hydrogen project discussion and add to it.
