Course Overview

This advanced training course provides a practical understanding of Carbon Capture, Utilization & Storage (CCUS) as a key pathway for reducing industrial greenhouse gas emissions, particularly from energy-intensive and hard-to-abate sectors. The program examines the technical, operational, economic, and strategic considerations involved in developing and implementing CCUS projects. Participants will explore the complete CCUS value chain, from CO₂ source identification and capture technology selection through conditioning, compression, transportation, utilization, injection, geological storage, monitoring, and long-term containment. Emphasis is placed on matching capture solutions and storage or utilization pathways to specific industrial applications. The course addresses major capture technologies, including post-combustion, pre-combustion, and oxy-fuel systems, together with solvent, membrane, adsorption, and emerging capture approaches. It also examines CO₂ compression, pipeline transportation, shipping, storage-site assessment, injection systems, monitoring, measurement, verification, and environmental and operational considerations. Practical exercises focus on evaluating CCUS opportunities, comparing technology options, assessing infrastructure and storage requirements, estimating project risks and costs, and developing an integrated CCUS implementation roadmap aligned with decarbonization and Net Zero objectives.

Learning Objectives

  • Analyze the role of CCUS in industrial decarbonization and Net Zero strategies.
  • Assess major industrial CO₂ emission sources and their suitability for carbon capture.
  • Evaluate post-combustion, pre-combustion, and oxy-fuel capture technologies.
  • Compare solvents, membranes, adsorption systems, and emerging capture technologies.
  • Assess CO₂ conditioning, dehydration, compression, and transportation requirements.
  • Evaluate pipeline, shipping, and other CO₂ transportation options.
  • Analyze CO₂ utilization pathways and their technical and commercial considerations.
  • Assess geological storage potential, site characteristics, and injection requirements.
  • Evaluate monitoring, measurement, verification, and containment requirements.
  • Analyze CCUS project economics, infrastructure requirements, risks, and implementation constraints.
  • Develop technology selection and project prioritization frameworks for CCUS investments.
  • Design an integrated CCUS roadmap with milestones, performance indicators, and risk controls.

Who Should Attend

This course is designed for professionals responsible for decarbonization, energy transition, carbon management, sustainability, engineering, and industrial operations, including CCUS and Net Zero specialists, process engineers, environmental professionals, energy managers, and technical decision makers. It is particularly relevant to professionals working in oil and gas, refining, petrochemicals, chemicals, cement, steel, metals, mining, power generation, utilities, manufacturing, and other carbon-intensive industries. The program is also suitable for project managers, asset managers, HSE professionals, investment and strategy teams, infrastructure specialists, consultants, regulators, and executives involved in evaluating or implementing carbon management projects.

Learning Outcomes

  • Identify high-priority industrial CO₂ sources suitable for CCUS.
  • Assess capture requirements for different industrial processes and emission profiles.
  • Select appropriate capture technologies based on technical and operational conditions.
  • Evaluate energy penalties, utility requirements, and operational impacts of capture systems.
  • Assess CO₂ purification, dehydration, compression, and conditioning requirements.
  • Compare transportation options based on distance, volume, pressure, infrastructure, and project scale.
  • Evaluate CO₂ utilization opportunities and their technical limitations.
  • Assess geological formations and key criteria for CO₂ storage suitability.
  • Develop monitoring and verification approaches for CO₂ storage and containment.
  • Evaluate technical, commercial, environmental, safety, and regulatory risks.
  • Prioritize CCUS projects using emissions reduction potential, cost, maturity, and infrastructure readiness.
  • Develop an actionable CCUS implementation roadmap aligned with industrial decarbonization targets.
