Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage (CCUS) Management

1. Training Introduction

Carbon Capture, Utilisation, and Storage (CCUS) technologies are critical for mitigating greenhouse gas emissions and achieving net-zero targets. Effective CCUS management ensures the safe, efficient, and economically viable capture, transport, and storage or utilisation of carbon dioxide (CO₂).

This program equips participants with comprehensive knowledge of CCUS technologies, project development, regulatory frameworks and sustainability strategies, enabling them to manage CCUS projects successfully across industrial, energy, and environmental sectors.

 

2. Training Objective

The objectives of this program are to:

• Introduce participants to CCUS technologies, processes, and applications.
• Equip participants with skills to plan, manage, and optimise CCUS projects.
• Enable participants to assess economic viability, financing, and regulatory compliance.
• Promote best practices for environmental sustainability, risk management, and project monitoring.

 

3. Targeted Group

This program is designed for:

• Energy and industrial sector professionals, project developers, and engineers.
• Environmental consultants, sustainability officers, and researchers.
• Financial analysts, investors, and policy advisors in CCUS projects.
• Policy-makers, regulators, and government officials in energy and climate sectors.
• Academicians and students specializing in carbon management, environmental engineering, or climate solutions.

 

4. Course Duration

• Total Duration: 2 Weeks (Online, Hybrid, or In-Person Delivery)
• Weekly Commitment: 32 hours
• Mode of Delivery: Expert-led lectures, interactive workshops, case studies, and project-based learning

 

5. Training Methodology

The program uses a blended and practical learning approach:

• Expert-Led Lectures: Covering CCUS technologies, economics, project management, and policy frameworks.
• Case Studies: Examination of global CCUS projects, challenges, and successes.
• Workshops & Simulations: Exercises in CO₂ capture, transport logistics, storage site selection, and utilisation pathways.
• Group Discussions & Peer Learning: Collaborative exploration of project strategies, risks, and innovations.
• Project Work: Development of a comprehensive CCUS project plan integrating technical, economic, and regulatory considerations.
• Assessment & Feedback: Quizzes, assignments, and project evaluation to ensure practical understanding.
