Overview
Workers with expertise in designing, constructing, operating and maintaining carbon capture and storage (CCS) infrastructure are crucial. A skilled workforce is essential to increase the scalability and affordability of CCS as a pathway to net zero in Canada.
This course covers carbon capture process conceptualization and considerations for techno-economic objectives, constraints, and processes. We'll examine mechanical, electrical and instrumentation design and life cycle assessment.
Designed for those in engineering and design, this course will expand your expertise to apply engineering design principles and standards to the design of post-combustion CO2 capture processes and processing units. This course is also relevant for anyone interested in better understanding the design of carbon capture infrastructure.
The course is part of our CCS micro-credential series, created for energy services workers, engineers, geoscience professionals, operators, technologists or trades professionals looking to upskill.
You must complete ENVS 011 - Introduction to Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) before you can register for this course.
You must be a minimum of 18 years of age by the start date.
Upon successful completion of this course, you'll be able to:
- describe the different carbon capture technologies and processes and their technical readiness, benefits and limitations
- outline sector-specific applications for CCS, including strengths and weaknesses
- describe the components, objectives and constraints associated with post-combustion carbon capture processing
- develop and document capture process design work packages and related mechanical design work packages
- document related electrical and instrumentation design requirements
- conduct a life cycle assessment (LCA) for the carbon capture process and use outputs of the LCA to inform and improve carbon capture processing.
You'll demonstrate your skills and knowledge through quizzes, written assignments and exams. All coursework must be completed as outlined in the course schedule and no later than the course end date.

In this episode, we're thrilled to have Mansi Godambri Dhaundiyal with us to delve into the world of carbon capture and storage.

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.
