Appraising Green Hydrogen Projects: Business Case and Financial Modelling
Appraising Green Hydrogen Projects: Business Case and Financial Modelling
1 day duration
Mazars hydrogen training programme is designed to equip you with the required skill sets to structure your hydrogen project. The course provides an overview and key considerations of financial modelling for hydrogen projects, as well as the theoretical aspects of green hydrogen project development.
This course is taking place in London on Tuesday 26 September 2023, 9:00 am-5:00 pm.
What you will take away from this course
- Part 1: The hydrogen based theory will impart an understanding of hydrogen project development and critical factors to consider before delving into financial analysis; and,
- Part 2: The financial modelling techniques will guide through relevant techniques to transform the project assumptions into tangible financial outputs, empowering sensitivity analysis and the ability to strategically plan various scenarios.
Is this course for you?
This course is suitable for anyone who needs to build, review or analyse hydrogen financial
models and gain knowledge on the commercial aspects of the sector for investment
considerations. Typical attendees include Industry Analysts, Business Developers, Project
Managers and Senior Business Managers/Directors.
Course prerequisites
While no sector-based knowledge is strictly required to take the course, it is however desirable
that the participants have some basic understanding of the sector and good Excel skills. Upon
registration, you are entitled to our introductory material on Excel functions which will give you
the confidence and skills to fully absorb the contents of this course.

Course Agenda
Module 1 – Developing your hydrogen business case
Learning objectives
- Role of green Hydrogen in accelerating the global transition to a low-carbon Economy;
- High-level review of the regulatory environment and government support (UK, EU and US);
- Green Hydrogen development outside of UK, EU and US – key trends;
- Strategic considerations when making decisions about the development of hydrogen projects (economic environment, alignment with the company’s strategy, location – hydrogen hubs & clusters, stakeholder relationships, project structures);
- Understanding the green Hydrogen market (global commodity, supply and demand);
- Cost assessment for hydrogen projects (key elements of production cost and transportation cost);
- Delivering your projects (operational and contract risk management, governance and reporting); and,
- Discussion on the use of hydrogen production as a form of energy storage
Module 2 – Financial modelling for hydrogen projects
Learning objective
- Identify & discuss the key technical and financial concepts relevant to modelling for hydrogen projects;
- Work through techniques used in building a best practice and well-structured model for green hydrogen (cash-flow model), considering:
- Integration of generation profiles driven from underlying renewable assets such as solar and wind, possibly backed with energy storage;
- Incorporate inputs such as power consumption, efficiency, yield and production levels to forecast production volumes and revenues; and,
- Effectively modelling the capital and operating costs for the production & storage of green hydrogen
- Understand the relevance of the Levelized Cost of Hydrogen (LCOH) and how to effectively incorporate it within your models:
- Appreciate the definition and significance of LCOH as a metric for economic evaluation;
- Develop a best practice modelling approach to LCOH within the financial model; and,
- Utilised LCOH to assess and estimate sale prices.
