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?
Additionally, inspiring case studies will be discussed, including the Dutch projects Porthos and Aramis, which play leading roles in European CCUS development. These projects offer valuable lessons on designing, financing, and implementing large-scale CCUS solutions.
What You Will Learn
After participating in this masterclass, you will have:
- A clear overview of the different CO2 capture technologies and their applications.
- Insights into the global potential of CCUS to reduce CO2 emissions and achieve climate goals.
- An understanding of the economic, technological, and policy challenges involved in CCUS implementation.
- Practical knowledge of successful projects such as Porthos and Aramis, including their challenges and success factors.
- A realistic perspective on how CCUS can contribute to a more sustainable future.
