Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS) is a key technology for reducing industrial greenhouse gas emissions and supporting the transition toward lower-carbon energy systems. It provides an integrated pathway for capturing carbon dioxide from industrial sources, transporting it safely, utilizing it in value-generating applications, or permanently storing it in suitable geological formations.
This course provides participants with a practical understanding of the complete CCS and CCUS value chain, including CO₂ capture technologies, transportation systems, geological storage, monitoring, project development, regulatory requirements, economics, and risk management. Particular attention is given to upstream applications, including storage in depleted oil and gas reservoirs, saline aquifers, and the use of CO₂ for Enhanced Oil Recovery.
Participants will examine the properties and behavior of CO₂ during transportation, injection, and long-term storage. The program also addresses site screening, reservoir characterization, injectivity, containment, fault and seal assessment, well integrity, geochemical and geomechanical effects, monitoring and validation strategies, and project lifecycle planning.
Practical exercises and international case studies enable participants to evaluate prospective storage sites, recognize technical and operational risks, and develop an integrated understanding of how CCS and CCUS projects are planned, assessed, implemented, monitored, and ultimately closed.
