Training on Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) Fundamentals
Course Overview
Carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) is a critical technology for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from industries, power plants, and other large emitters. CCUS involves capturing carbon dioxide at the source, repurposing it for fuels, chemicals, or building materials, or securely storing it underground.
Despite its potential, many organizations face challenges understanding the technical, economic, and policy aspects of CCUS. Key concerns include technology selection, project design, investment requirements, risk management, and long-term storage safety.
This course provides participants with a clear, practical introduction to CCUS. It covers carbon capture methods, utilization pathways, geological storage techniques, project planning, investment considerations, and policy frameworks. Hands-on exercises and real-world case studies equip participants to support low-carbon project development, strategic decision-making, and sustainable emissions reduction initiatives.
