Hydrogen & Carbon Capture

Overview

Hydrogen and carbon capture are two of the technologies most closely linked to the future of the oil and gas industry. Both build on skills the industry already has, in gas processing, large projects and subsurface engineering, and both feature prominently in national energy strategies across the Gulf, Europe and Asia. This course gives a grounded technical and commercial introduction to each. Participants study the main hydrogen production routes, from steam methane reforming with capture to water electrolysis, along with storage, transport and end uses including ammonia. They then examine carbon capture technologies, CO2 transport and geological storage, monitoring requirements and utilisation options. The final part of the course compares project economics, policy support and safety considerations, helping participants judge which opportunities are realistic for their organisations.

Objectives

• Compare hydrogen production routes and their emissions intensity
• Describe hydrogen storage, transport and conversion to ammonia and other carriers
• Explain post-combustion, pre-combustion and other capture technologies
• Describe CO2 transport, geological storage and monitoring requirements
• Evaluate the economics and policy support for hydrogen and CCUS projects
• Identify the safety hazards of hydrogen and CO2 and their controls

Who should attend

Training methodology

The course balances technical depth with commercial context. Process concepts are explained with flow diagrams and energy balances, while project case studies from operating CCUS hubs and hydrogen plants show how these ideas perform in practice. Participants calculate the carbon intensity and cost of different hydrogen routes, screen a storage site and evaluate a sample project. Group discussions consider which opportunities fit different national contexts. A short assessment completes the week.
