CCS Capture, Transport, and Storage

About

This eLearning course covers the basics of CCS projects and their life cycles. It includes a discussion of the unique blend of fundamentally different project types that make up a CCS project—a basic review of the technologies being utilized and developed for CO2 capture with relative costs. A high-level review of direct air capture, its unique promises, and challenges are discussed. Basic transportation alternatives are presented with a focus on pipelines, CO2 safety, and projected transportation infrastructure needed to achieve net zero.

Target Audience

Designed for technical or non-technical audiences, including engineers, geoscientists, finance, accounting, and operations professionals who want a basic understanding of the project life cycle, the fundamentals of CO2 capture and technology readiness, and transportation options.
