Global industry cannot reach its climate commitments through renewable electricity alone; heavy sectors like cement, steel and chemicals still need a way to deal with the carbon dioxide their processes produce. Carbon Capture and Storage, or CCS, together with clean hydrogen, is one of the few realistic paths available to close that gap.

This course gives trainees a clear, independent view of where CCS technology stands today and where it is heading, covering the engineering, the business drivers and the policies shaping its adoption. It also connects the dots between carbon capture, hydrogen production and the broader shift away from oil and gas, so participants leave with a practical picture of how these pieces fit together.

Knowledge and Benefits:

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

• Explain how CCS protects the atmosphere from excess carbon dioxide and supports the goals of the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement.
• Identify the key sectors of the global economy where CCS can contribute to deep emissions reductions.
• Compare the main carbon capture methods, including post-combustion, oxyfuel and pre-combustion capture.
• Explain the geological principles behind permanently and safely storing carbon dioxide underground.
• Assess how CCS complements other low-carbon technologies and unlocks carbon-negative solutions.
