Course Introduction

Carbon capture, utilisation and storage has rapidly transitioned from climate policy discussions directly into core corporate decarbonisation strategy. Modern pathways to net zero heavily rely on commercial CCUS technology to address heavy industrial emissions in cement, steel, chemicals, power generation, refining, and waste-to-energy facilities. With governments deploying financial tax credits, carbon pricing mechanisms, and infrastructure grants, investors increasingly require hard-to-abate sectors to establish a clear operational framework. Taking a specialized Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage Training Course allows organizations to effectively respond to these evolving market dynamics and regulatory mandates.

This comprehensive five-day training course guides delegates through every critical stage of the industrial value chain—from point-source capture and direct air capture to pipeline transportation, permanent geological storage, and commercial utilization in synthetic fuels or building materials. Delegates examine economic frameworks, policy landscapes, technology options, and project delivery realities that govern successful deployment. Drawing from real-world operating facilities globally, this CCUS Training Course empowers professionals to thoroughly evaluate investment opportunities, lead technical discussions, and drive corporate sustainability initiatives forward.

This Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage Training Course will feature:

  • Complete end-to-end CCUS value chain analysis covering capture mechanisms, transport modes, geological storage, and revenue-generating utilisation paths
  • Technical evaluation of capture systems for power and heavy industry, including post-combustion, pre-combustion, oxyfuel, direct air capture (DAC), and bioenergy systems
  • Strategic analysis of CO₂ infrastructure delivery, pipeline versus marine transport, and shared regional industrial hubs and clusters
  • Geological storage site assessment, capacity calculations, and robust Measurement, Monitoring, and Verification (MMV) protocols for liability management
  • Commercial project economics, global carbon market incentives, tax frameworks, and step-by-step guidance on taking projects from concept to final investment decision

Objectives

By the end of this Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage Training Course, participants will be able to:

  • Articulate the strategic role of CCUS in reaching corporate net-zero targets across industrial processes, energy production, and permanent carbon removal
  • Compare emerging carbon capture technologies to select optimal, cost-effective solutions tailored to specific flue gas compositions and facility designs
  • Assess CO₂ transport logistics and geological storage options while leveraging industrial hubs and cross-border transport networks
  • Evaluate commercial utilization opportunities to distinguish permanent climate benefit from short-term carbon recycling pathways
  • Build financial models and business cases for CCUS projects incorporating carbon credits, tax incentives, policy subsidies, and commercial revenue streams
  • Navigate complex regulatory permitting requirements and apply a structured feasibility framework to develop bankable CCUS project proposals

Training Methodology

This CCUS Training Course utilizes an interactive and practice-driven learning environment that balances expert technical instruction with collaborative discussions and practical application. Participants analyze global case studies from operating assets across Europe, North America, the Gulf region, and Asia to understand real-world successes, commercial hurdles, and key operational takeaways.

Throughout the week, delegates participate in group feasibility exercises and apply practical screening tools to evaluate technical, economic, and regulatory risks. Working through an integrated, real-world scenario, attendees progressively apply each day’s concepts to build and present a fully realized project concept.

Who Should Attend?

This Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage Training Course is specifically structured for technical, strategic, and commercial professionals responsible for planning, evaluating, or executing carbon reduction and net-zero strategies.

  • Engineers, project managers, and technical directors working in energy, heavy utilities, cement, steel manufacturing, chemical processing, and refining
  • Sustainability lead specialists, ESG officers, and corporate decarbonisation directors guiding long-term corporate climate roadmaps
  • Strategy executives, business development managers, and investment analysts evaluating capital allocations in low-carbon technology
  • Government regulators, climate policy advisors, and energy ministry officials formulating carbon frameworks and policy incentives
  • Capital project finance leads, risk managers, and legal counsels supporting large-scale energy transition infrastructure developments

Course Outline

Day 1: CCUS in a Net Zero World

  • Climate science essentials and the role of CCUS in credible net zero pathways
  • The CCUS value chain: capture, transport, storage and utilisation
  • Where CCUS matters most: power, cement, steel, chemicals, refining and waste-to-energy
  • Global project landscape: operating facilities, major developments and lessons from early projects
  • Carbon removal versus emissions reduction: BECCS, direct air capture and negative emissions
  • Common misconceptions and the honest case for and against CCUS 

Day 2: Carbon Capture Technologies

  • Post-combustion capture: solvents, sorbents and membranes
  • Pre-combustion capture and the link to hydrogen production
  • Oxyfuel combustion and emerging capture approaches

  • Mineral carbonation and CO₂ use in concrete, aggregates and building materials
  • Utilisation pathways: synthetic fuels, chemicals, enhanced oil recovery and assessing genuine climate benefit 

Day 4: Economics, Policy and Finance

  • Cost drivers across the value chain and how costs are falling
  • Carbon pricing, emissions trading schemes and border carbon adjustments
  • Incentive frameworks: tax credits, contracts for difference and government funding programmes
  • Business models: full-chain projects, transport and storage as a service, and cross-border networks
  • Financing CCUS: risk allocation, revenue certainty and what investors require
  • Building the financial case: a structured evaluation exercise 

Day 5: Delivering CCUS Projects

  • The project development lifecycle from concept through feasibility to final investment decision
