Introduction

How to protect the atmosphere with the technology of Carbon Capture and Storage, often called CCS, from an excess of carbon dioxide

The fundamental drivers to make fossil fuels ‘safe to use’ in the context of the Paris Climate Change agreement of 2015

Key sectors of the global economy where CCS can contribute to deep reductions in emissions

The uniqueness of CCS to complement other low-carbon technologies

Syllabus

Week 1 - Climate Drivers

Week 2 - CCS Across the Whole Economy

Week 3 - Capturing Carbon

Week 4 - Geological Carbon Storage

Week 5 - Future Prospects

Overview

The atmosphere is a shared resource and the amount of greenhouse gases it can absorb is a finite resource. This introductory course to the technology of Carbon Capture and Storage is designed for a wider audience with an interest in energy, sustainability and climate change. The aim of Carbon Capture and Storage is to achieve - Deep reductions in carbon dioxide emissions to the atmosphere - Unlock carbon negative solutions to achieve a neutral carbon balance to the atmosphere in the 21st centu

Skills

Reviews

It is a good course for understanding CCS technology.

A detailed course emphasizing the importance and relevance of Carbon capture and storage in climate change mitigation covering all the important aspects.

The Course was very well designed giving more information about the Carbon Capture and Storage through CO2 Sequestration.

The first course I'm actually completing. The learning is so immersive
