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 will expand your understanding of carbon pipeline transportation conceptualization and the considerations for techno-economic objectives, constraints and processes. We'll cover mechanical, electrical, and instrumentation design, as well as life cycle assessment.
Designed for those in engineering and design, this course will provide you with the expertise needed to apply engineering design principles and standards to designing CO2 gathering and transmission pipelines. It's also relevant for anyone interested in better understanding the design of carbon capture transportation infrastructure.
This course is part of our CCS micro-credential series, intended 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 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
- understand the key considerations for designing a CO2 pipeline, including routing and factors impacting equipment and materials choice to achieve reliability, safety, and cost specifications
- understand the key considerations for the mechanical design of CO2 pipelines
- understand electrical and instrumentation design requirements for CO2 pipelines
- conduct life cycle assessments (LCA) for carbon pipeline and marine transportation and use outputs of LCA to inform and improve carbon transportation infrastructure design.
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.
