In this 32-hour online course, Design of Carbon Transportation Infrastructure, you’ll learn about carbon pipeline transportation conceptualization and the considerations for techno-economic objectives, constraints, and processes. You will also cover mechanical, electrical and instrumentation design and life cycle assessment. This instructor-guided course is ideal for engineering and design personnel who want to apply engineering design principles and standards to designing carbon gathering and transmission pipelines. Complete the prerequisite Introduction to Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) and this course to earn SAIT’s Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) Certificate of Completion. Receive a SAITMicro digital badge if you meet the specified earning criteria for this micro-credential. 

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

  • Describe the components, objectives and constraints associated with liquid and gaseous carbon dioxide (CO2) pipeline transportation 
  • Demonstrate an understanding of how to simulate and validate CO2 pipeline design 
  • Demonstrate an understanding of key considerations for designing a CO2 pipeline including routing and factors impacting equipment and materials choice to achieve reliability, safety and cost specifications 
  • Demonstrate an understanding of the key considerations for mechanical design of CO2 pipelines 
  • Demonstrate an understanding of electrical and instrumentation design requirements for CO2 pipelines 
  • Demonstrate an understanding of how to conduct life cycle assessment (LCA) for carbon pipeline and marine transportation, and use outputs of LCA to inform and improve carbon transportation infrastructure design

You will demonstrate your skill 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 prepares you for Canada’s low-carbon workforce by teaching the principles of CO2 pipeline transportation, from handling liquid and gaseous carbon to system design and validation. You will gain practical skills in simulating and designing pipelines, focusing on routing, materials selection, and safety to meet reliability and cost standards. Additionally, you will learn mechanical, electrical, and instrumentation requirements, along with life cycle assessments (LCA), enabling you to create efficient and sustainable carbon transportation infrastructure. These skills are essential for supporting Canada’s transition to a low-carbon economy.
