Introduction

Introduction

Hydrogen for Power Generation Training Course provides a practical, industry-focused understanding of how hydrogen and hydrogen-derived fuels can contribute to the evolving power-generation landscape. Participants explore the hydrogen value chain, green hydrogen, low-emissions hydrogen, electrolysis, hydrogen storage, transportation, fuel cells, gas turbines, combined-cycle generation, hydrogen co-firing, power-to-hydrogen, and Power-to-X applications. The course reflects current industry developments: the IEA reports that global hydrogen demand surpassed 100 Mt in 2025, while low-emissions hydrogen demand increased by about 20%; however, hydrogen use in the power sector remains at an early stage and is concentrated particularly in Japan and Korea.

Designed for professionals seeking to understand the energy transition, decarbonisation, grid flexibility, and emerging hydrogen-power technologies, the course connects technical concepts with project development, techno-economic assessment, safety, regulation, sustainability, and investment decision-making. Participants examine real-world demonstrations, including the Hyflexpower demonstration of renewable hydrogen in a 12 MW gas turbine and current hydrogen/ammonia power-development trends. The IEA indicates that existing plants and announced projects could bring hydrogen- and ammonia-fired power capacity to approximately 7.5 GW by 2030, illustrating the importance of building informed technical and commercial capabilities now.
