Professional Certificate of Competency in Carbon Capture

The world is facing threatening climate challenges and the energy situation in the world is changing quickly. To achieve the UN goal of reliable and sustainable energy for all, energy conversion and reduction of CO2 emissions are critical. Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is generally considered a key technology to decrease carbon emissions from the energy industry during the transition to renewable energy generation, and in the longer term to decarbonize refining, iron and steel, cement, chemical and other industries. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), CCS is the most significant technology option for reducing direct emissions from industry, with the potential to mitigate 2 to 2.5 Gigatonnes of CO2 per year globally by 2050. Achieving this target reasonably requires a combination of advanced expertise in subsurface engineering and innovative thinking. This course explores how the technology of CCS and utilization can deliver a long-term solution to provide a long-term solution to reduce excess carbon dioxide in our atmosphere. CCS prevents carbon dioxide emissions from penetrating the atmosphere and deposits them permanently and securely underground. The goal of CCS is to bring about heavy reductions in carbon dioxide emissions to the atmosphere.
