Objectives

Upon successful completion of this course, the learner will be able to define carbon capture and sequestration, explain how and when it is used, discuss geological characteristics of suitable formations, describe injection and monitoring, and discuss current cases of CCS in action.

Content

This course covers the fundamental concepts involved in carbon capture and sequestration, and explains the geological conditions required for successful carbon storage. It profiles extraction, transportation, injection, and monitoring of CO2.

Key Topics

• Carbon dioxide sources
• Carbon capture techniques
• CCS systems
• Managing hazardous materials
• Transporting CO2
• Considerations / factors in selecting sites and formations
• Large-scale power plant CCS projects
• Storage capacity
• Costs: energy, infrastructure, transportation, monitoring
• Relative Benefits
