Hydrogen Workshop
In-company
Overview
This workshop is an opportunity to learn about the hydrogen industry and where it sits within the global process and energy industries space. It will help you to understand the wide array of hydrogen technologies and opportunities.
The workshop will explore:
- current and future hydrogen demand and trends
- industrial hydrogen production and purity requirements for different applications
- end uses for hydrogen: transport, industrial, power, export
- hydrogen compression, storage and transmission
- hydrogen fuel cells.
Workshop sample exercises will include:
- mass and energy balances for hydrogen production
- levelised cost of hydrogen production
- risk assessment of a hydrogen system (ie mock mini-HAZOP)
- hydrogen supply chain SWOT analysis.

Trainer
Andrew Dicks
After graduating with a PhD in physical chemistry from Loughborough University, Andrew Dicks spent over 30 years in the UK gas industry working on gasification, process design and systems analysis. In recognition of his research in fuel cells he was awarded the H E Jones medal of the Institute of Gas Engineers.
Andrew left the UK in 2002 to take up a research fellowship in nanomaterials at the University of Queensland. Since then he has played a key role in promoting hydrogen energy – as a Director of the Australian Institute of Energy, founder of the Australian Association for Hydrogen Energy and steering committee member of the CSIRO Hydrogen Roadmap.
