ENVS 017 - Design of Carbon Transportation Infrastructure
Course Description
Delivered online asynchronously and with the support of an industry-experienced instructor, our 32-hour Design of Carbon Transportation Infrastructure course will build your understanding of carbon pipeline transportation conceptualization and the considerations for techno-economic objectives, constraints and processes. You'll also cover mechanical, electrical and instrumentation design and life cycle assessment. This course has been designed to upskill engineering and design personnel to apply engineering design principles and standards to designing carbon gathering and transmission pipelines.
ENVS-017 is part of our Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) micro-credential series. The series is intended for upskilling energy services workers, engineers, geoscience professionals, operators, technologists or trades professionals.
Note: Registration for this course closes two days before the course start date.
Upon successful completion of this course, you’ll be able to:
- describe the components, objectives, and constraints associated with liquid and gaseous carbon dioxide (CO2 ) pipeline transportation and demonstrate an understanding of how to simulate and validate CO2 pipeline design
- demonstrate an understanding of key considerations for designing a CO2 pipeline, including routing and factors impacting equipment and materials choice to achieve reliability, safety, and cost specifications
- demonstrate an understanding of the key considerations for mechanical design of CO2 pipelines
- demonstrate an understanding of electrical and instrumentation design requirements for CO2 pipelines
- demonstrate an understanding of how to conduct life cycle assessment (LCA) for carbon pipeline and marine transportation and use outputs of LCA to inform and improve carbon transportation infrastructure design.
You’ll demonstrate your skill and knowledge acquisition through quizzes, written assignments and exams. This online course is structured and guided. All coursework must be completed as per the course schedule and no later than the course end date.

Earn a SAIT micro-credential
This course qualifies for the SAITMicro badge. Students who successfully complete this course with a final grade of A- or higher will earn a micro-credential and receive a shareable digital badge. Learn more.
A qualified talent pool is required to increase the scalability and affordability of CCS as a pathway to net zero. Workers who know how to design, construct, operate and maintain CCS infrastructure are needed.
If you are working in engineering and design, this course will benefit you as you expand your knowledge and expertise needed to apply engineering design principles and standards to the design of CO2 gathering and transmission pipelines.
This course will also be valuable for anyone seeking to better understand the design of the carbon capture transportation infrastructure and its implications for Canada to meet net-zero goals.
You must be a minimum of 18 years of age at the time you start this course. There are no other admission requirements (academic and/or work experience).
ENVS 011 Introduction to Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is a mandatory prerequisite for this course.
We recommend registering as soon as possible (7–14 days in advance of the course start date).

Oki, Ãba wathtech, Danit'ada, Tawnshi, Hello.
SAIT is located on the traditional territories of the Niitsitapi (Blackfoot) and the people of Treaty 7 which includes the Siksika, the Piikani, the Kainai, the Tsuut'ina and the Îyârhe Nakoda of Bearspaw, Chiniki and Goodstoney.
We are situated in an area the Blackfoot tribes traditionally called Moh'kinsstis, where the Bow River meets the Elbow River. We now call it the city of Calgary, which is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta.
