Course Summary

This comprehensive 3-day course delves into the intricate realm of CCUS. Participants will gain insights into the urgent need for emission reduction measures, particularly in the context of fossil fuel usage and industrial processes. The course explores the principles underlying geological storage, methodologies for site identification, and various CO2 capture technologies employed in stationary sources.

Additionally, it delves into the crucial aspects of compression, transport, and the economics surrounding CCUS initiatives. Furthermore, participants will examine the multifaceted landscape of community engagement, safety protocols, legal frameworks, and regulatory requirements inherent in successful CCUS deployment.

Throughout the course, real-world examples and case studies from operational projects worldwide will be utilised to provide context to the challenges and opportunities within the field, providing organisations and individuals with the requisite knowledge and skills to navigate this evolving landscape.
