Finance and TreasuryGreen Hydrogen Financial Modelling, Oil and Gas Fiscal Regimes, and ESG Reporting
Namibia has become one of Africa's most active energy investment destinations, with significant offshore oil and gas discoveries alongside world leading green hydrogen initiatives. This intensive three day course gives participants the practical tools to evaluate green hydrogen projects, work through Namibia's petroleum fiscal framework, and implement internationally recognised ESG reporting practices. Delegates build project financial models, calculate net present value, internal rate of return, payback period and the levelised cost of hydrogen, and analyse royalties, taxation, state participation and government take. The ESG component covers the major global disclosure frameworks and how to align sustainability reporting with investor expectations. The programme closes with an integrated capstone covering a hydrogen export model, an offshore fiscal evaluation and an investment committee recommendation.
