Masterclass (2 days) Carbon Capture Utilisation and Storage

• Introduction
o CO2 emissions classification
o CO2 emissions by sector
o Netzero target setting
o Importance of CCS, CCUS
• Brief History of CCS/CCUS
o How CCS emerged, when, trailblazers?
o Early pilot projects
o Ramp up
o Impact of fluctuating CO2 pricing
o Successful projects during the crisis
• Carbon Capture (by emission sources)
o Fundamental approaches: pre- and post-combustion, oxyfuel, industrial processes
o Power plants (coal / NG combined cycle)
o Industrial sectors (cement, iron and steel, refineries – in particular blue hydrogen)
• Carbon Transportation
o Road and Rail
o Sea
o Pipeline
o Emerging Technologies and Future Trend in CO2 Transportation
• Carbon Storage
o CO2 / CCUS hazards. Safe CO2 operations
o Compression
o Subsurface sequestration (EOR, depleted reservoirs, saline aquifers, monitoring systems, risks)
o Storage capacity
o Other forms of sequestration
• Carbon Utilisation
o Current carbon dioxide utilisation
o Captured carbon as a feedstock into ‘low carbon’ petrochemicals such as methanol and synthetic fuels
o Carbon utilisation and the ‘circular economy’
• CCUS Technologies
o Overview of current technologies applied (how to remove the CO2 from process streams, solvents, amines)
o Evaluation of technologies: techno-commercial
o Modelling of subsurface aspects of CO2
o Cost structure, learning curves: challenges and opportunities
o Operations and maintenance
o Future technology outlook: opportunities and challenges
• CCUS Business Models
o Factors for CCS/CCUS to be commercially viable: technology applied, CO2 pricing, negative emissions
o CCS/CCUS clusters
o Other supply chain requirements to make CCS/CCUS happen
o Strategic partnerships focusing on CCS/CCUS
o Thermal hydrogen
• CCUS/CCS Projects: Overview, Discussion and Case Analysis
o Description / discussion of plants currently in operation
o Operations and maintenance, employment opportunities
o Lessons learn
