Navigating the Complexities and Opportunities of Decarbonisation: Hydrogen, Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS), and Bioenergy

Course Overview

This course is designed as an accelerated learning programme to

equip participants with an understanding of key technologies and developments in hydrogen (and its derivatives), CCS and bioenergy

  •  help participants understand the complexities and opportunities in decarbonising today’s energy system
  •  be aware of the decarbonisation landscape internationally and domestically in Singapore
  •  stay up-to-date with latest policy developments in sectoral decarbonisation efforts (e.g., maritime sector)


This programme bridges policy, technical insights with industry relevance, empowering you to anticipate trends, seize opportunities, and take informed action in a rapidly evolving sector.

In this course, the following trainers will share their experiences from real sustainability projects from various perspectives. 


Who Should Attend
  • Process and Energy Engineers – seeking to pivot their expertise into the broader decarbonisation sector.
  • Early- and Mid-Career Professionals – looking to develop a fundamental understanding of the decarbonisation value chains, from production to end-use applications.
  • Business and Project Managers – responsible for identifying, evaluating, or implementing decarbonisation strategies in industrial or energy sectors.
  • Policy and Sustainability Professionals – aiming to deepen their grasp of emerging technologies, market trends, and regulatory developments shaping the low-carbon transition.
  • Investors and Strategic Decision-Makers – interested in recognising new opportunities, assessing risks, and navigating the evolving clean energy market landscape.
