GREEN HYDROGEN: GLOBAL CONTEXT, VALUE CHAIN AND BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES

The world is experiencing a climate emergency due to several complex factors. The uncontrolled increasing Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions and its relationship with primary energy production are the most relevant. In addition, the global demand for energy is increasing rapidly and the"non-renewable reserves are decreasing. These criteria along with the ongoing geopolitical situation in Europe are converging to generate a new energy crisis that has been growing during the last two years owing to the sanitary emergency COVID-19. The implications generated by climate change, sanitary emergencies, and energy crises are directly related to the global economy, with adverse effects on human health as well as environmental aspects.

For decades, knowledge about the implications of climate change has been a fundamental aspect of trying to slow down its impact, in particular industrial activity, on the environment. The alternative technology development which would be capable of minimizing the release into the atmosphere of Greenhouse Gases (GHGs) has become an important auxiliary against global warming. Currently, the "green hydrogen" will likely become one of the technologies with the greatest potential for implementation in the short-middle term. Green hydrogen is considered as a feasible alternative to be included by many developed countries in their "roadmaps" as the "solution at the end of the tunnel" for the climate emergency and the energy crisis that we currently face as a society.

In technical terms, hydrogen is an abundant natural resource that can be obtained through any energy source by means of an electrolyser that allows the separation of water (H2O) into hydrogen and oxygen. If the electricity is produced by “renewable sources”, hydrogen will be considered green hydrogen.

Green hydrogen has properties that make it extremely attractive to the industry, such as: (i) its energy content allows it to react (violently) with oxygen and reach temperatures of up to 1500 °C, which are usable in the heat exchanger network; (ii) its complete combustion only produces water vapor, which does not contribute to global warming; and (iii) it contains almost three times more energy per unit mass than gasoline or natural gas, making it attractive as a transport fuel and an immediate solution to mobility problems.

In this specialized online training program, you will understand in detail: (i) Each of the benefits of green hydrogen; (ii) The challenges that policymakers need to be aware of in order to have a competitive advantage in each sector in which they operate; (iii) business opportunity, regulation, project development, and financing, as well as, the potential of green hydrogen in the energy transition.

Objective:

This specialized training is aimed at those looking to further their knowledge of the hydrogen market. This training gives you a global and objective perspective on the current context of hydrogen, highlighting the different existing varieties of hydrogen, value chain, safety in facilities, development and financing of projects, regulatory aspects, as well as challenges and business opportunities for Mexico and Latin America.

Arno van den Bos

Arno van den Bos is an independent sustainability consultant with over 14 years of experience advising governments, companies, NGOs and industry associations in the area of renewable energy, energy transitions, transport policies, climate strategies and sustainable value chains.

He currently leads a study on the potential for green hydrogen trade between Mexico and California with the consultancy Hinicio, is technical advisor for the Mexican Alliance for Climate Action (lead by WWF) and visiting lecturer on energy sustainability and green product design at the Tecnológico de Monterrey (Mexico) and Burgundy Business School (France).

Before being an independent consultant, Arno worked 5 years with the German Development Agency (GIZ) in Mexico and 5 years as an international consultant with Ecofys in the Netherlands.

Hugo Rodriguez

Hugo has a Master's Degree in Infrastructure Project Finance from the École nationale des ponts et chaussées, in Paris, France, and he holds a bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering from the Universidad Iberoamericana, Mexico City

Currently, he is an investment analyst at Hy24, a €2.0 billion investment fund that is fully dedicated towards advancing the clean hydrogen sector through clean hydrogen infrastructure investments. Hugo was involved in the €200 million roundtable investment into Hy2gen, a green hydrogen and its derivatives development company, the first transaction of Hy24.

Previously, he was a senior executive of the Grupo Indi’s business development team, evaluating proposals for transportation, social infrastructure and real estate projects, including concession and public-private partnerships schemes.
