Content Summary
Background
Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS) is one of the carbon negative technologies which play a vital role to to limiting climate change to well below 2ºC of global temperature rise. This introductory course explores the concept and application of CCS as a main solution to protect our atmosphere from the anthropogenic CO2 gas, in the context of global economy, energy applications, and and a desirable outcome for climate change. Different concept of engineering, geology, economics, law and policy will be covered throughout this course. The activities and discussions in the course will help to unlock the carbon negative solutions to achieve a neutral carbon balance to the atmosphere in the 21st century.
Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Understand the role of CCS in controlling the global climate change
- Explain the principles of CO2 capture and sequestration
- Discuss the application of CCS technology
Who Should Attend?
Anyone interested in Carbon Capture and Sequestration
