Carbon Capture Utilisation and Storage

About the Course

This two-day programme designed to immerse professionals in the critical and rapidly evolving field of carbon management. As the world intensifies its efforts to combat climate change, understanding and implementing CCUS technologies has never been more vital. This course goes beyond the basics, offering detailed insights into the entire CCUS lifecycle—from capturing carbon dioxide emissions at their source to transporting, utilising, and securely storing them. 

Participants will start with a deep dive into the carbon cycle and the various legal frameworks that govern CCUS operations. You’ll learn about cutting-edge CO2 capture technologies, including pre- and post-combustion capture, oxyfuel combustion, and direct air capture. This segment also addresses the technical and logistical challenges of transporting CO2, whether through pipelines or maritime routes. 

The second day shifts focus to the practical applications of captured CO2 and long-term storage solutions. Explore the latest advancements in CO2 utilisation, which open up new market opportunities, and understand the intricacies of geological and ocean storage options. Through real-world case studies, you will gain practical knowledge of how CCUS projects are planned, implemented, and monitored. 

This course is not just about learning; it’s about equipping you with the skills to take action. Interactive simulations and collaborative problem-solving sessions are designed to give you hands-on experience, ensuring that you can apply what you learn directly to your work. Networking opportunities with industry experts will further enhance your learning, providing you with valuable connections and insights. 

By the end of the programme, you will have a comprehensive understanding of CCUS technologies and be ready to tackle the complex challenges of carbon management. Whether you are looking to advance your career, influence policy, or drive innovation in your organisation, this course will provide the tools and knowledge you need to make a significant impact.
