Infocus International: Interactive Energy Storage Virtual Workshop is Back by Popular Demand

A new date for Energy Storage virtual workshop has been announced by Infocus International Group and it will commence live on 12 December 2022 and 13 March 2023.

Energy storage differs from other energy technologies in the breadth and complexity of its addressable market and revenue opportunities. This training course provides a comprehensive, business-focused analysis of these opportunities, allowing attendees to analyse, understand and segment them. While naturally focusing on battery storage, we also cover the variety of competing storage technologies and describe the wide variety of problems energy storage seeks to solve, at a wide range of deployment sizes and timescales, including key issues around practical project delivery.

Attendees will leave with a clear understanding of why and where storage markets are growing, what could limit this growth and what the future trends will be. So, if you are thinking of investing in or developing an energy storage business case, this course provides your essential grounding in the core issues.

One of our past attendees from Tuas Power Generation shared that, “The course has been informative, very practical and covers a wide range of energy storage technology. It is a good introduction to ESS.”

Another past attendee from the Department of Energy also shared that, “This was an excellent course. I will without a doubt recommend it to anyone interested in the interplay between energy storage systems, electricity networks and energy markets, policies, procurement and regulations. Trainer’s knowledge and group interaction makes the course not only highly informative, but also engaging and fun as we learn how to successfully transition to more environmentally sustainable energy systems.”

Brand New Virtual Course – Mastering Clean Ammonia is Now Open for Registration

Infocus International Group, a global business intelligence provider of strategic information and professional services, has introduced a brand new virtual course – Mastering Clean Ammonia which will be commencing live on 7th February 2023.

Ammonia is a chemical commodity with long-established supply chains from production and distribution through to utilisation. However, its current production creates substantial carbon emissions, a fact at odds with public and policy desires for cleaner economies and industrial processes. In addition to cleaning up the processes of the ammonia used in current chemical applications, producers have new reasons to be excited by the growth opportunities for clean ammonia. These opportunities lie in its possible role within the “energy transition”. In particular, there is much interest in the role of clean ammonia as either a carrier of hydrogen fuel, or as a fuel in its own right, in sectors such as shipping and power generation.

This time-efficient training course will provide attendees with a comprehensive and up-to-date introduction to ammonia today and its prospects in a decarbonised world. Aimed at those in commercial, business-focused roles, including business development, strategy planning and investment, attendees will gain a clear description of the key technologies in language easily accessible to non-engineers. The market will be reviewed, illustrated by project examples, policy and strategy announcements from around the world. Clean ammonia’s competitive positioning will be examined and analysed from an independent, hype-free perspective, including the challenges and alternatives that it faces.

Course Sessions:

1. Ammonia production pathways, current and emerging
2. The role of clean ammonia in the energy transition
3. Developing clean ammonia market demand and projects

Infocus International Brings Back Public-Private Partnerships In-Person Course in Singapore

The Public-Private Partnership (PPP) workshop is back for 2023 in Singapore. Infocus International is delighted to bring one of their best events to professionals from all around the world and it will be commencing on 6th February 2023 in Singapore.

We need new infrastructure. Roads, airports, schools, hospitals and housing: the list is enormous and growing. Yet severely limited budgets, economic uncertainty caused by volatile commodity prices, and deficits continue to prevent government at all levels from delivering the kinds of structural change that has always been needed.

In response, some countries have developed relatively successful PPP programmes – similar in many ways yet with specific national characteristics. Challenges remain throughout each region and are intensifying in the current environment. Merely grasping the concepts of PPP does not do justice to our great responsibility of having an ownership in the country’s future. We already know what we need to do, now is the time to really discover HOW. Beginning with an in-depth understanding of how PPPs work, from financial, commercial, project & legal aspects, we seek to push our participants to innovate with real life case studies, group discussions and technical evaluation.

One of our past participants from Electricity Generation Company (Malawi) Ltd shared that, “The facilitator was very knowledgeable on the subject matter, very responsive to questions and innovative in the delivery of the PPP training program. The knowledge gained will assist me in productive participation in ongoing and planned PPP Projects in my country.”

Another past participant from PNG Ports Corporation also mentioned that, “This is an excellent course for anyone involved in PPP. Highly recommended.”

Benefits of Attending:
– Use best practices from international case studies of successful PPP transactions and common practical pitfalls to avoid
– Design and manage PPP legal, regulatory & institutional frameworks to attract investors and complete PPP transactions
– Apply models for the efficient design and completion of PPP feasibility studies
– Understand project financing requirements and evaluate PPP financial models for both affordability and bankability
– Evaluate and apply different credit enhancement techniques to ensure PPP bankability, including blended financing, viability gap funding (VGF), partial guarantees, risk insurance products, output-based aid (OBA) and other financial instruments
– Design PPP transaction implementation plans and manage & oversee PPP transaction advisors for reaching commercial closure and financial closure
– Models for PPP tender documents, including PPP Project Information Memoranda (“InfoMemos”), Requests for Qualifications (RFQs), Requests for Proposals (RFPs)
– International models for designing and drafting PPP contracts & agreements
– Environmental & social impact mitigation techniques to structure sustainable private investments in public infrastructure
– Plans for managing sustainable PPP contracts including ensuring technical performance, quality of service delivery, price review & adjustment regulatory models, legal contract management and alternative dispute resolution (ADR) techniques
