Offshore Wind and Hydrogen Market Masterclass

About the Course

The offshore wind and hydrogen sector is expected to grow significantly across the globe in the coming years. The UK, for example, recently set a target to produce forty gigawatts of offshore wind and will require a vast supply chain encompassing turbine foundations and cabling infrastructure. Five gigawatts of hydrogen is also projected by 2030, representing a 40-fold increase within nine years for that sector.

The journey to a renewable, circular and low-carbon economy (facilitated by electrons, hydrogen and other technologies) will be challenging, and the very top priority will be implementing and delivering it safely. This offshore wind and hydrogen market masterclass details how global leaders can assist. Developers and stakeholders require their people and supply chain to possess the necessary skills and competencies to deliver hybrid offshore wind, solar, and hydrogen projects safely, on time and with the highest quality standards.

The course aims to enable companies and stakeholders to be aware of the fundamentals of offshore wind and hydrogen: What is it? What does it mean for the future? What are the challenges around the offshore wind and hydrogen sector? What decisions and plans are likely to be made based on emerging real opportunities? Participants will be guided as to where early opportunities are most likely to lie, who is involved and how to engage.

Who Will Benefit

The offshore wind and hydrogen market masterclass will be invaluable to:

• Companies that are already part of the supply chain and those looking to future-proof their capabilities
• Project developers who are seeking to decarbonise and source green power
• Financiers
• The construction industry
• Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs)
• Balance of plant (BoP) organisations
• Engineering companies involved in storage, compression equipment and shipping
• Stakeholders from government, finance and consenting
• Businesses seeking to enter the energy arena with its myriad opportunities in a market set for exponential growth
• Any person wishing to learn more about the potential of these industries
