This course explores how carbon management solutions can be implemented across industrial and energy systems. It introduces core processes involved in handling CO₂ and examines real-world applications across sectors. Learners gain insight into commercial viability, investment considerations, and market dynamics shaping deployment. The programme also highlights regulatory environments and global trends influencing adoption.
A strong emphasis is placed on value creation, resource efficiency, and system-level thinking. Emerging digital tools and immersive technologies are presented as enablers of optimisation and safety. Through case studies and practical exercises, participants connect theory with implementation. The course ultimately prepares learners to contribute to low-carbon transitions through informed decision-making and innovative approaches.
About this course
This MOOC provides a comprehensive and structured journey into Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS), combining technical foundations, business perspectives, and system-level transformation approaches. The course is organised into three core modules, each designed to build progressively from understanding to application and strategic deployment.
The first module introduces the essential concepts behind CO₂ capture, transport, and storage, offering a solid grounding in the scientific, engineering, and policy dimensions of CCS. Learners explore key technologies, infrastructure requirements, and real-world applications, supported by case studies that highlight current challenges and opportunities.
The second module focuses on the commercial and strategic aspects of CCS. It examines how value is created across the CCS value chain, covering business model design, market dynamics, regulatory environments, and financial planning. Learners engage with practical tools such as business canvases and forecasting approaches to assess feasibility and scalability in different contexts.
The third module places CCS within a broader sustainability transition, exploring its role in circular systems and resource-efficient value chains. It highlights the potential of digital tools, artificial intelligence, and immersive technologies to improve performance, safety, and decision-making. Through applied examples and interactive elements, learners gain insight into how innovation is shaping the future of CCS deployment.
Together, these modules offer a balanced combination of theory, application, and forward-looking perspectives, equipping learners to engage with CCS from technical, economic, and systemic viewpoints.
