Training Sessions and Workshops

Delegates are encouraged to register early for the training sessions and workshops taking place before and after the Congress as spaces are limited.
Please note that places are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
All fees listed below are in AUD and include the 10% Goods and Services Tax (GST).

Introduction to GHG Emissions from Reservoirs Workshop (half day)

Date: Monday 5 April 2027

Details:
Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from reservoirs are increasingly considered a key criterion for assessing the sustainability of hydropower. This training will provide a complete overview of the subject to provide participants with a solid foundation to understand and manage emissions.

We will start with a scientific introduction about what happens when a reservoir is created, including the main GHG emission pathways (diffusive emissions, bubbling emissions, degassing emissions) and some lesser-known ones. We will also compare the leading reporting methods, such as field measurements, emission factors, modelling (including the G-res Tool) and remote sensing. To conclude, we will analyse a case study and investigate options for mitigating GHG emissions.

The workshop attendees will receive a digital certificate of completion.

Hydropower Sustainability Standard Workshop

Date: Friday 9 April 2027

Details:
One of the highlights of the Congress, the launch of the Hydropower Sustainability Standard 2.0 will take place on the first day of the event. This would signify the end of a year-long journey – the formal multistakeholder review of this comprehensive and globally recognised certification system for hydropower projects applicable at all stages of their life cycle. The Hydropower Sustainability Training Academy run a free-of-charge workshop on what the Standard 2.0 entails, including the new digital platform and use of AI, and will provide the participants with deeper insight into the Standard’s sections and requirements that have been refined as a result of the review.

The workshop will likely take place in the morning and will have a runtime of three hours.

Details:
Learn how to use the internationally recognised G-res Tool to predict GHG emissions from your reservoirs. This interactive three-day training course is designed for professionals from all backgrounds interested in learning how to apply the G-res Tool.

The course begins with an introduction to GHG emissions from reservoirs and an overview of the G-res models, geographic information systems and reservoir GHG dynamics. The heart of the course is a comprehensive description of the G-res Tool with clear step-by-step guidance on how to use it, including scenario planning and results analysis. Upon completion, participants will be accredited as certified G-res Tool users.
