Hydrogen is gaining momentum as a critical energy source for enabling the global transition to a low-carbon future. However, most hydrogen today is produced from fossil fuels through processes that generate high carbon emissions. Integrating carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies with hydrogen production can help reduce emissions and unlock hydrogen’s potential as a clean energy carrier.
Furthermore, the application of hydrogen as an alternative future fuel has become the primary objective of most governments for achieving net zero emissions within a short period of time. Large-scale production of ‘Blue Hydrogen’ from fossil fuels through reforming or gasification processes makes it possible to achieve this.
This course will provide details of blue hydrogen production technological basis and the way it will be integrated with carbon capture facilities, locking away the captured CO2 into geological storage sites permanently. It will also offer a full picture of the complex blue H2-CCS value chain from the source of H2 production to end-users, as well as the required processes in CCS.
Examples will be drawn from current projects, including steam methane reforming (SMR) integrated with CCS in the US and around the world. Key terminologies, metrics, and concepts will be explained in a language accessible to commercial energy companies and other involved professionals.
This course will be delivered face-to-face over 3-day sessions, comprising of 8 hours per day, 1 hour lunch and 2 breaks of 15 minutes per day. Course Duration: 24 hours in total, 24 CPD points. Maximum number of participants: 25

TRAINER
Your expert instructor is currently based in Newcastle, United Kingdom. He completed his MSc in Petroleum Engineering in 2003 from NTNU, Norway, followed by his Ph.D. at the University of Stavanger in 2006. With 12 years of industrial experience at a Middle Eastern oil production company and Statoil ASA (Equinor), he joined Teesside University as a Senior Lecturer.
From 2006 to 2013, he engaged in diverse exploration and development initiatives across the North Sea, the Barents Sea, and the Middle East. Notable projects included conducting history matching for Oseberg South and managing reservoirs. Additionally, he contributed to several multimillion-dollar SCAL projects spanning the Norwegian Continental Shelf and North Africa, focusing on areas such as low salinity water injection for improved oil recovery (IOR). The knowledge and experience gained from water injection techniques have assist him in the development of efficient CO2 injection and storage strategies in geological formations.
Your expert instructor took on responsibilities for overseeing the Joint Industry Project (JIP) related to chalk reservoirs at Statoil, as well as E-core projects involving pore network modeling. Furthermore, understanding how chalk reservoirs behave under various conditions has assisted him in evaluating the suitability for CO2 storage and mitigating potential leakage risks.
During his tenure as a Production Engineer at a Middle Eastern oil production company from 1997 to 2001, he held significant responsibilities. His role involved overseeing surface facilities within oil production units and managing oil and gas-producing wells across diverse oil fields, with a particular focus on those containing carbonate reservoirs in the southern region. His duties encompassed the management of outdoor production activities, including tasks such as acidizing, cementing, and perforation operations. These responsibilities are relevant to the optimization of oil and gas extraction processes, which contribute to the broader understanding of reservoir management techniques applicable to hydrogen production integrated with CO2 capture and storage (CCS).
In connection to the above topics within the net-zero domain, he has secured industrial-based funds from Qatar – NPRP and Saudi Arabia. Your expert instructor`s focus has been and continues to be key aspects of the energy sector, earth sciences, geo-energy, geopolymer, waste management, carbon capture and storage, hydrogen production, transportation, and storage. Within the last few years, he has also brought the concept of digitalization to enrich the outcome and use resources in a smarter manner, which helps in reducing CO2 emissions.
