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 the CCS chain of technologies and their application, with a focus on the industry in Canada.
Our experienced instructors will engage you throughout the course as you 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 carbon capture sector.
This intro course will be beneficial to you if you’re currently working in energy services or as an engineer, geoscience professional, operator, technologist or trades professional and are looking to expand your existing skills and knowledge for a career in Canada’s emerging CCS industry.
This course will also be valuable for anyone seeking to better understand CCS and its environmental, social, and economic implications for Canada in order to meet net-zero goals.
Upon successful completion of this course, you’ll be able to:
- recognize carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies and describe how they fit into the value chain
- recognize how carbon from CO2 is being utilized in Canada and globally, today and in the future
- describe current and future usages for CO2
- recognize the role that CCS can play in Canada to decarbonize and achieve net zero goals
