Scaling up Green Hydrogen projects

Objectives of the event

The objective of this webinar is to provide participants with the tools necessary to make informed decisions about the type of hydrogen projects to be developed. In addition, it seeks to guide participants through the project design process, so that by the end of the webinar they will have a clear understanding of how to apply these tools to their own applications.

During the webinar, a high-level analysis will address three of the different tools available for the analysis of hydrogen and its derivatives. It will highlight these tools and explain how they can be used to assess the technical and economic feasibility of projects:

• H2A: Hydrogen Analysis Production Models: Eassess the technical and economic feasibility of hydrogen production systems. Its practical utility includes cost assessment, design optimization, feasibility assessment and strategic planning for renewable energy and fuel cell projects. It enables informed and strategic decisions to drive the transition to a sustainable hydrogen economy.

• RODeO: Revenue, Operation, and Device Optimization: It is a plant design tool that allows a comprehensive optimization taking into account aspects of revenue, operation and devices. Its usefulness lies in the fact that it goes beyond conventional design, since it considers both investment costs (CAPEX) and operating costs (OPEX) in terms of capacity in megawatts (MW). This provides a more complete, integrated and accurate view to maximize revenues and optimize the operation of the plant as a whole.
• SERA: Scenario Evaluation and Regionalization Analysis Model: Its usefulness lies in its ability to evaluate scenarios and perform regionalization analysis. It enables users to model different scenarios, assess the impact of strategic decisions and optimize the supply chain based on factors such as geographic location, resource availability, market demand and logistics costs. With SERA, organizations can make informed, strategic decisions to improve efficiency, reduce costs and maximize profitability in their supply chain operations.

Detailed case study examples will be presented to show how these tools work in a specific context. These examples will be selected to be relevant regardless of the geographical location of the project, thus providing a broad and applicable view to different scenarios, at three levels:

• Supply chain: How your project can fit into a hydrogen value chain considering demand centers, export ports, renewable resources, power grid, among others.

• Hydrogen plant design: How should the design be, what technologies should be used or combined with each other to define the optimal design of the systems (combinations with solar, wind or other). 
• Process operation: How to determine energy consumption, water consumption, balance of plant, additional equipment required, compositions of each of the process streams, etc.

At the end of the webinar, participants will have the necessary tools to make informed decisions in the planning and design of hydrogen projects. In addition, they will have gained practical knowledge on how to use these tools in a case study, which will allow them to apply that knowledge to their own applications and projects.
