The masterclass provides an in-depth exploration of Carbon Capture, Utilisation, and Storage (CCUS), a groundbreaking technology that is essential in the fight against climate change. During this intensive one-day masterclass, you will gain insights into:
- The process of capturing CO2 emissions from industrial processes and power plants.
- Opportunities to reuse captured CO2 in applications such as synthetic fuels, construction materials, or enhanced oil recovery.
- The safe storage of CO2 underground to prevent its release into the atmosphere.
The relevance of CCUS has never been greater. Global climate goals, as outlined in the Paris Agreement, are unattainable without this technology. In this masterclass, we address questions such as: How advanced are the technologies? What are the economic and technological challenges? What policy initiatives are supporting CCUS worldwide?
What You Will Learn
After this masterclass, you will be able to:
- Define CCUS, its core objectives, and its role in reducing CO₂ emissions in line with climate targets.
- Identify and evaluate various carbon capture technologies, including their operational principles, advantages, limitations, and financial aspects.
- Explain the methods for carbon utilisation, transport, and storage, and assess the associated risks and benefits.
- Analyze the challenges and opportunities for large-scale CCUS adoption, incorporating policy frameworks and public acceptance.
- Critically evaluate current CCUS projects by comparing costs, benefits, and business cases to determine effective implementation strategies.
