Overview
Dive into this 60-hour online course and learn with the support of an industry-experienced instructor about the fundamental characteristics and properties of CO2 and the implications for long-term carbon sequestration. You'll also explore regulations, approaches, technologies, site planning, modelling, monitoring, data analytics and verification. This course has been designed to upskill personnel to apply their skills and knowledge to the emerging field of Measurement, Monitoring and Verification (MMV) of sequestered carbon including those with experience in:
- subsurface and reservoir modelling and monitoring
- geoscience
- well planning
- data analytics
- regulatory reporting and compliance (TBC).
ENVS-015 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.
You must complete ENVS 011 - Introduction to Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) prior to registering for this course.
Upon successful completion of this course, you’ll be able to:
- describe the fundamental characteristics and properties of CO2 and implications for long-term under-ground carbon sequestration
- demonstrate an understanding of the regulations, principles and objectives associated with monitoring, measuring and verifying sequestered carbon emissions
- demonstrate an understanding of the dimensions required for carbon sequestration project and site-specific MMV plans including monitoring techniques to track the behaviour of injected CO2 and demonstrate containment
- describe the different approaches and technologies used for monitoring and measuring atmospheric, biospheric, hydrosphere,geospheric conditions around underground carbon storage sites
- demonstrate an understanding of the importance of modelling to predict the performance of injected carbon behaviour
- describe how to conduct data analytics to verify that CO2 sequestration sites are conforming to regulatory permits
- describe emissions accounting and reporting requirements.
You’ll demonstrate your skills 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.

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.
