Event Overview
This class will provide a high-level, non-technical overview of current US hydrogen consumption, the most widely used hydrogen production processes and existing facilities. It will explore several avenues to produce hydrogen and compare the costs of hydrogen produced from different processes. We will examine the characteristics of hydrogen and compare hydrogen with natural gas as a fuel in direct combustion applications. Finally, we will consider possible challenges and implications for natural gas midstream and downstream facilities and operations arising from blending or substituting hydrogen for methane in natural gas transport and delivery facilities.
By successfully completing this course, participants will have a clear understanding of hydrogen’s purpose in the global and domestic economy, social, environmental, financial, and safety impacts to consider, and how our hydrogen has a role in consumable energy consumption today.
Attendees will receive 2 Professional Development Hours (PDH) upon completion.
Learning Objectives
- Learn the essential characteristics of hydrogen and hydrogen use.
- Understand the pros and cons of blended or integrated hydrogen and natural gas energies.
- Identify the various types of hydrogens and their environmental benefits.
- Familiarize yourself with modern-day hydrogen production and consumption.
Who Should Attend
Any relatively new employee of a gas industry entity and experienced gas industry professionals (administrative, financial, operations, legal, marketing, and other disciplines) seeking to broaden their understanding of the natural gas industry.
