Carbon Capture, Transport, and Storage
This online engineering CPD course provides a thorough introduction to the principles and practices of carbon capture, transport, and storage (CCS).
This course focuses on strategies to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and enhance the resilience of energy and industrial systems. It emphasizes the critical role of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) in achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, detailing the technologies and infrastructure required for large-scale CO₂ capture, transport, and geological storage. This course explores how to implement CCS solutions, from evaluating CO₂ sources and selecting capture technologies to designing transportation networks and ensuring secure storage. It includes solvent-based capture methods (e.g., monoethanolamine – MEA), drying and liquefaction processes, and geological sequestration.
The course also covers the material supply chain for CCS deployment, focusing on components such as compressors, pumps, cement, and pipeline steel. Using real-world case studies, the course provides insights into optimizing CCS system performance and overcoming operational challenges. Additionally, it explores the policy and regulatory frameworks driving CCS deployment, including tax incentives and environmental permitting requirements, making this course an essential resource for those involved in the sustainable energy transition.
This 4 PDH online course is applicable to environmental engineers, energy managers, as well as other technical professionals interested in carbon management and emissions reduction.
