Overview

This course is for anyone working on conceiving, planning, designing, constructing, and commissioning assets repurposed for hydrogen. It’s a comprehensive deep dive into the challenges of repurposing assets, the emerging legislative framework, supporting research, timescales, and the required resources. It also identifies gaps in current industry knowledge and ongoing investigation.

Why This Course?

70+ years of experience in energy infrastructure

Penspen has completed innovative hydrogen repurposing projects for transmission and distribution infrastructure in Portugal, Ireland, Turkey, the UK and Greece.

Be prepared for the next step

As the energy transition accelerates, the course will provide practical advice regarding the priorities and resources required for the next step in your hydrogen project.

Groundbreaking research

Penspen contributes to many of the major hydrogen industry bodies, and is regularly published in leading journals for thought leadership around hydrogen – so this course will provide the most up-to-date research about hydrogen repurposing.
