Overview
A qualified talent pool is required to increase the scalability and affordability of carbon capture and storage (CCS) as a pathway to net zero. Workers who know how to design, construct, operate and maintain CCS infrastructure are needed.
This course provides an overview of carbon capture technologies with a detailed focus on post-combustion technologies that are anticipated to be most widely deployed in the near term.
As part of our carbon capture and storage micro-credential series, this course is designed for process operations personnel with previous experience in process manufacturing industries, including operators, engineers, and maintenance trades. It is also relevant for process operators, power engineers, process engineers and plant/facility engineers.
You must complete ENVS 011 - Introduction to Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) before you can register for this course.
You must be at least 18 years of age by the time you begin.
Upon successful completion of this course, you’ll be able to:
- describe the fundamental characteristics and properties of CO2 and implications for CCS deployment
- describe current and emerging regulations that impact the deployment of CCS
- describe the different carbon capture technologies and processes and their technical readiness, benefits and limitations
- outline sector-specific applications for CCS, including strengths and challenges
- provide an overview of post-combustion carbon capture technology and processes
- demonstrate an understanding of the selection and operation of equipment used and their specifications and parameters.

Oki, Âba 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.
