Introduction to Carbon Capture and Storage

Upon successful completion of this course, you will be able to: 

• Recognize Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technologies and describe how they fit into the value chain 
• Recognize how carbon from CO2 is being utilized in Canada and globally, today and in the future 
• Describe current and future usages for CO2  
• Recognize the role that CCS can play in Canada to decarbonize and achieve net-zero goals 
• Demonstrate a knowledge of the socio-economic impacts that accompany the development of Canada’s CCS sector

You will demonstrate your skills and knowledge acquisition through unit quizzes and written assignments. This online course is structured and guided. All coursework must be completed as per the course schedule and no later than the course end date. 

This course qualifies for the SAITMicro badge. Students who successfully complete this course with a final grade of A- (80%) or higher will earn a microcredential and receive a shareable digital badge.  

This course will prepare you to join Canada’s low-carbon workforce by gaining a comprehensive understanding of CCS technologies and their integration into the broader value chain. You will learn about current and future applications of CO2, both in Canada and globally, which will help you recognize the potential for carbon utilization in various sectors. By understanding the role CCS can play in decarbonizing Canada and achieving net-zero goals, you will be equipped to contribute to significant climate initiatives. Your knowledge of the socio-economic impacts associated with developing Canada’s CCS sector will enable you to address community concerns and promote sustainable practices, making you a valuable asset in the transition to a low-carbon economy.
