Carbon Capture & Storage - Course
2026-01-01 - 2026-01-03 | Delivered face-to-face or virtually in-person
The UK government’s ambitious net-zero target by 2050 demands innovative solutions to significantly reduce carbon emissions. Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is emerging as a game-changer, and projects like the Acorn CCS project in Scotland, the HyNet North West in England, the East Coast Cluster spanning Teesside and Humber, and the Padeswood CCS project at Hanson Cement Works in Wales are leading the way.
This comprehensive CCS course equips you to understand the technology’s potential to revolutionise how we manage carbon emissions.
Delve into the science behind CCS, explore real-world projects in the UK, and gain insights into the future of this critical technology in the fight against climate change.
Course Overview
Module 1. Carbon Dioxide 101
We start the course with an introduction to carbon dioxide. As we explore the basics, we consider what it is and how it is currently used. Also, what part it plays a part in carbon capture and storage relevant to hydrogen.
Module 2. Introduction to CCS
Hydrogen is a complex topic, and we take the opportunity to discuss the three most popular production processes of the gas. Dispelling the myths, we look at how hydrogen is made and how this could determine its uses.
We then move on to an increasingly common topic, global warming and climate change as we focus on the impact our behaviours and choices are having on the planet and what this could mean for our future.
This then leads on to the carbon cycle as we explore how the element moves from the atmosphere to plants, animals, the environment, earth and the atmosphere.
Module 3. Processes and storage
The course then moves on to combustion, as we dive into the process of pre-combustion capture, post-combustion capture and oxygen-fuel combustion. We discuss each of these and provide context about why this is such an exciting scientific revolution and a viable alternative to current practices.
It’s then that we focus on how you can remove CO2, before discussing how it is captured and then used.
Finally, during this section we consider storage and how each element can be retained and under what conditions.
Module 4. Considerations and opportunities
Carbon Capture and Storage is an important topic and fundamental if we are to meet with the net zero targets that have been set by government. At this point in the course, we look at why it is becoming increasingly important and what impact it could have on costs, energy, infrastructure, economical stability and more.
Module 5. Legislation and policies
At this point in the course, we move on to the serious topic of legal frameworks regarding CCS and how these are evolving. We explore requirements as they stand and how this is reflected across the globe as the race to achieve net zero gains pace. We complete this section with a focus on UK policies and regulation.
Module 6. Projects – UK and globally
Taking everything we have learned, we provide further context and put the theory into practice as we look at what is happening today with CCS. We share examples of the CCS projects that are taking place around the world and how these compare to those that are underway and planned in the UK and throughout Europe.
As well as providing insight, this will showcase the opportunity that CCS brings to us all and the benefits that it can and will deliver.
By the end of this course, you will be able to:
Explain the principles of CCS and its role in mitigating climate change.
Evaluate the legal and regulatory framework surrounding CCS projects.
Analyse the advantages and disadvantages of CCS technology.
Describe the different methods of capturing and storing CO2.
Discuss the current state of CCS projects and their future prospects.
