Course Description

In this 15-hour Introduction to Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) course, you’ll gain an overview of the carbon capture and storage chain of technologies and their application, with a focus on the industry in Canada. Delivered asynchronously online, our experienced instructor will engage you throughout the course. You’ll learn about CCS’s role in advancing Canada’s sustainable energy system and explore emerging uses for CO2 capture, the benefits, the challenges and the socio-economic impacts of developing Canada’s CCS sector. This course has been designed for anyone interested in learning more about CCS.
