What you'll learn

  • Explain the hydrogen colour spectrum and compare the carbon intensity of grey, blue and green hydrogen
  • Describe water electrolysis and compare the main electrolyser technologies used for green hydrogen
  • Explain how green hydrogen production is scaled up and matched to renewable power
  • Describe steam methane reforming and how carbon capture and storage turns it into blue hydrogen
  • Assess how industrial clusters share hydrogen demand, infrastructure and carbon capture
  • Compare compression, liquefaction and chemical storage methods for a given application
  • Compare pipeline and shipping transport and weigh the benefits and challenges of each
  • Discuss the market trends shaping where and how hydrogen is being deployed

Course content

6 sections • 24 lectures • 3h 40m total length
  • Introduction4:14

    What PRINCE2 is, where it came from, and how its principles, themes and processes fit together as a project management method.

  • History of Hydrogen Energy6:27

    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.

  • Properties of Hydrogen Energy2:39

    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.

  • Hydrogen Production4:03

    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 Hydrogen Energy Market9:51

    Current and future trends in the hydrogen energy market, driven by government incentives, new technology such as advanced electrolysers and fuel cells, and investment.

  • Section 1 Quiz: Introduction to Hydrogen energy
  • National Hydrogen Strategy Meeting

Requirements

  • No prerequisites — the course starts from what hydrogen is and how it behaves
  • No chemistry or engineering background is needed; terms are explained as they come up
  • Helpful but not essential: a general interest in energy or the energy transition
  • No software or purchases needed

Description

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.


WHAT YOU WILL LEARN TO DO

By the end of this course you will be able to:

  • Explain the hydrogen colour spectrum and what separates grey, blue and green hydrogen
  • Describe how water electrolysis works and compare the main electrolyser technologies
  • Explain how green hydrogen is scaled up and linked to renewable power
  • Describe steam methane reforming and where carbon capture and storage fits in blue hydrogen
  • Explain how industrial clusters share hydrogen demand and infrastructure
  • Compare compression, liquefaction and chemical storage and their trade-offs
  • Compare pipeline and shipping transport and the challenges of each
  • Discuss the current and future trends in the hydrogen market


HOW THE COURSE IS TAUGHT

  • Starts with the history and properties of hydrogen before moving to production
  • Follows the value chain in order: production, storage, then transport
  • Real green and blue hydrogen project examples anchor each production route
  • Plain explanations, with no chemistry or engineering background assumed
  • Quizzes with short explanations so you can check your understanding as you go


WHAT IS COVERED

  • Hydrogen history, properties, production routes and market trends
  • The hydrogen colour spectrum and green hydrogen
  • Scaling up green hydrogen and electrolyser technology
  • Blue hydrogen, steam methane reforming and carbon capture and storage
  • Industrial clusters and shared infrastructure
  • Storage by compression, liquefaction and chemical carriers, and how they compare
  • Transport by pipeline and by ship, with the benefits and challenges of each


100 PRACTICE QUESTIONS

Every section ends with a quiz built around realistic scenarios, so you test your understanding as you go and reinforce what you have learned. Each answer comes with a short explanation.
