Course Curriculum
Day 1: The Green Hydrogen Value Chain
Upstream & Midstream
01
Module 1: Electrolysis Technology Selection (2026 Landscape)
- Alkaline vs. PEM vs. SOEC: Comparative analysis of system efficiency, dynamic load response, and Capex/Opex matrix.
- Kenyan Energy Profiling: Custom-matching electrolyzer parameters to Geothermal baseload power vs. intermittent Solar/Wind configurations.
- Scale-up Logistics: Engineering and operational pathways moving from 100kW pilot systems to 100MW+ utility-scale facilities.
02
Module 2: Water-to-Hydrogen Engineering
- Water Sourcing & Treatment: Desalination, ultra-purification technical specs, and environmental footprints in water-stressed locations.
- Power Supply & Rectification: Power electronics layouts required to safely manage DC power quality for stacks.
- Balance of Plant (BoP): Engineering secondary systems including gas purification, cooling loops, and automated de-oxygenation.
03
Module 3: Storage, Compression, and Transport
- The Density Challenge: Technical cost-benefit of high-pressure compressed gas (350/700 bar) vs. cryogenic Liquid Hydrogen (LH₂).
- Chemical Carriers: Storage dynamics utilizing Ammonia (NH₃), Methanol, and Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carriers (LOHC).
- Infrastructure Logistics: Repurposing existing natural pipelines and organizing port facilities for upcoming "Green Corridors."
Day 2: Decarbonization Strategy & Project Bankability
Downstream & Finance
04
Module 4: Decarbonizing "Hard-to-Abate" Sectors
- Green Fertilizer: The Naivasha-Olkaria case study — replacing heavy nitrogen-based fertilizer imports with local clean products.
- Heavy Mobility: Deploying hydrogen fuel cells (FCEVs) efficiently for regional long-haul trucking and marine shipping.
- Green Steel & Cement: Transitioning core industrial heat and reduction processes over to clean alternatives.
05
Module 5: The Policy & Regulatory Landscape in Kenya
- EPRA & Ministry Guidelines: Project safety codes, operational licensing steps, and compliance framework requirements.
- Fiscal Incentives: Capitalizing on Special Economic Zone (SEZ) designations, 10-year withholding tax holidays, and VAT exemptions.
- Certificates of Origin: Guaranteeing the "Green" export status to meet strict compliance rules abroad (e.g., EU Global Gateway).
06
Module 6: Economics & The Path to FID (Final Investment Decision)
- LCOH Optimization: Rigorous sensitivity analysis parsing input electricity costs and electrolyzer stack degradation curves.
- Grid-Integrated vs. Standalone: Why the local industry is pivoting to grid-integrated setups to unlock 17% lower generation costs.
- Off-take Agreements: Crafting bankable long-term supply contracts for domestic off-takers and international markets.
🚀 Core Learning Outcomes
- ✔ Specify the appropriate electrolyzer technology based on specific local energy infrastructure.
- ✔ Evaluate the deep economic cost-benefit of using hydrogen derivatives like Ammonia or Methanol.
- ✔ Navigate the 2026 Kenyan regulatory and EPRA landscape for green hydrogen project licensing.
- ✔ Develop a highly actionable, phased decarbonization roadmap for complex industrial facilities.
