Training Course on Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS) Technologies

Introduction

As the global community intensifies its efforts to combat climate change and achieve net-zero emissions, Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) technologies have emerged as critical tools in the decarbonization strategy. CCUS not only reduces emissions from industrial processes and power generation but also offers solutions for the circular carbon economy, enabling the transformation of CO? into valuable products. This course provides a comprehensive and up-to-date learning experience focused on cutting-edge carbon management, energy transition, and climate mitigation solutions.

Training Course on Carbon Capture, Utilization & Storage (CCUS) Technologies is designed for professionals, researchers, and policymakers eager to deepen their understanding of low-carbon technologies, regulatory frameworks, and the latest CCUS innovations. Through 15 structured modules featuring real-world case studies, participants will learn about CO? capture methods, geological and non-geological storage options, economic feasibility, and safety protocols. The course is structured with interactive sessions, group work, and practical tools to ensure knowledge retention and real-world applicability.
