Integrating Gas, Renewables & Hydrogen in the Energy Transition
This is one of the industry masterclasses.
Meticulously designed to provide a deep understanding of commercial challenges in the oil and gas sectors and the energy transition, attendees are equipped with issue frameworks which are used in a progressive case study approach where they represent the interests of various parties involved.
This hands-on experience allows exploration and discussion of the issues in negotiation key commercial terms and fosters a “learning by doing” approach.
This enables attendees to apply this experience directly to their existing roles or in seeking new roles in industry.
The Masterclasses are limited to less than 20 participants.
Designed for professionals currently in technical, commercial and legal roles involved in contract negotiation and management of exploration, appraisal, development, transportation and sales contracts within the oil & gas industry and those involved in the energy transition, particularly the integration of gas and renewable power generation.
Purpose
Understand how energy density dictates cost to serve markets and energy policy shapes choices in meeting energy demand. How price and volume risk is managed in the gas into power generation and the future impact of increasing levels of renewable energy on the system. The use of Levelized Costs of Energy (LCOE) analysis using the latest Cost of Energy data, sensitivity to gas price, carbon price, load factor / load duration curves. Understand the future of gas in the energy transition in power generation, hydrogen, heat & feedstock markets how the UK electricity market (as a leading example) will need to adapt to the integration of gas and renewable energy on the system.
Description
- Revisits key insights in energy density / market uses, emissions and dynamics in forecasting gas and hydrogen within the energy transition.
- Case Study Stage (i) analysis of the case study country’s current energy balance to determine the energy supply / demand and the opportunities for gas & power investments in the government proposed restructuring of the energy market.
- Case Study Stage (ii) energy policy framework explores the impact of security of supply, affordability and sustainability in shaping government policy choices in the use of markets or mandates. Reflection on the UK and European carbon mantras and policy interventions
- Gas project structuring explores matching of supply & market demand for gas and power and impact of load & utilisation factors on investment.
- Case Study Stage (iii) evaluation of options in shaping a basin gas supply recognising exploration risk and field reserves uncertainty, choices in development of power supply through IPPs using gas-fired generation integrated with renewable energy options.
- Managing gas and power supply to meet market needs using Levelised Cost of Energy (LCOE) analysis, sensitivity to gas price, carbon price, load factor / load duration curves and the impact of increased renewable energy on the system.
- Case Study Stage (iv) involves identification of preferred investment options within limited capital budgets and negotiations of infrastructure investment and Case Study Stage (v) involves final negotiation of gas and power prices between investors and government.
- Review of UK power market - pricing, managing renewable intermittency, future power market structure change
- The future role of hydrogen beyond the hype - critical markets, physical issues and insight to energy transformation economic viability
- The outlook for gas in the energy transition is critically accessed against the wide range of current forecasts.
