Carbon Capture, Utilisation & Storage (CCUS)

About the Course

Carbon Capture, Utilisation & Storage (CCUS) technologies are increasingly recognised as critical enablers of industrial decarbonisation and net-zero transition strategies across the energy, power, petrochemical, and heavy industrial sectors. Governments and organisations are accelerating investments in CCUS projects to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, support low-carbon fuel production, and enable the continued use of existing energy infrastructure whilst meeting increasingly stringent environmental obligations and responding to growing pressures to achieve long-term emissions reduction targets. The successful deployment of CCUS projects requires multidisciplinary expertise in carbon capture technologies, CO₂ processing and transportation, subsurface storage, utilisation pathways, monitoring and verification systems, project economics, and long-term risk management.

This 5-day Carbon Capture, Utilisation & Storage (CCUS) training course equips professionals with the technical knowledge, frameworks, and practical tools required to understand, evaluate, and implement CCUS technologies and projects. It focuses on carbon capture systems, CO₂ transportation and infrastructure, geological storage, utilisation technologies, monitoring and verification systems, and project development considerations, with particular emphasis on the technical and operational challenges associated with large-scale CCUS deployment and long-term storage assurance. Through practical exercises, industry case studies, and technical discussions, delegates will develop the capabilities required to evaluate CCUS opportunities, support project implementation, optimise carbon management strategies, and contribute to industrial decarbonisation and the deployment of low-carbon technologies.

Core Objectives

The delegates will achieve the following objectives:

• Assess the role of CCUS technologies in industrial decarbonisation and carbon management strategies
• Evaluate carbon capture technologies and their suitability for different industrial applications
• Determine CO₂ processing, transportation, and infrastructure requirements
• Analyse geological storage mechanisms and subsurface performance considerations
• Apply monitoring and verification techniques to support storage integrity and risk management
• Examine CO₂ utilisation pathways and emerging deployment opportunities
• Optimise technical and commercial considerations associated with CCUS projects
• Support the development and implementation of large-scale CCUS initiatives

Training Approach

This training course adopts a highly interactive and practical approach to learning, combining instructor-led presentations, technical case studies, facilitated discussions, group exercises, and collaborative workshops. Delegates will analyse real-world CCUS projects and apply practical methodologies and technical frameworks to evaluate carbon capture technologies, storage solutions, and project implementation strategies.
