2-day course
CPD Credit: 13 hours, C1
Course Overview
In addition to reviewing existing CCUS approaches, the course will
highlight new opportunities and integrated value creation possibilities through
emerging carbon utilisation options. This will include how the fate of carbon
capture links to other aspects of the clean energy transition, such as clean
hydrogen production, industrial decarbonisation and the transition away from
oil & gas.
The course is presented throughout in language accessible to business
and commercially-focused people, including business developers and investors,
and illustrated with up-to-the-minute examples, benchmarks and best practices
from around the world.

data and the scale of the CCUS challenge/opportunity
The role of CCUS in
‘net zero’ scenarios and forecasts
Motivations of key
players in driving CCUS
The competitive
context of CCUS
- CCUS development & investment challenges
Investment risks
along the CCUS supply chain
Development
timeframes and practical barriers
Project lifecycle
and processes
What will drive CCUS
investments?
Policymaker
motivations in supporting CCUS
Reviewing policy
mechanisms around CCUS from across the globe
Industrial
decarbonisation and carbon management strategies
Summarising the
risks and opportunities in the CCUS sector
Learning Objectives
On successful completion of this course, delegates will be able to:
- Understand the essentials of carbon capture technologies and their cost
drivers
- Understand the options for storing and moving carbon dioxide
- Quantify the scale of the growth potential of CCUS
- Identify the industries and processes likely best suited to early
adoption of CCUS
- Appreciate the complexities of the end-to-end carbon value chain
- Review examples of projects and strategies from around the world,
including the importance of industrial clusters and hydrogen in CCUS deployment
- Identify how and where policy is contributing to the development of CCUS
Who should attend
The course is relevant to business-focused non-experts who want a solid,
independent and wide-ranging understanding of the interconnected topics which
will determine the development trajectory of the CCUS industry.
Previous attendees have been drawn from a range of industries including
large emitters (for example cement, chemicals, waste, the power sector), along
with industrial gas companies, the oil & gas sector and a variety of
technology sectors. Policymakers and investors will also find the content of
value.
Trainer Profile
Dr John Massey is an
internationally renowned energy communicator and business educator, focused on
the interconnected decarbonisation topics of renewable power, energy storage,
CCUS and hydrogen.
He has a 1st Class degree in Natural Sciences from the University of
Cambridge, plus a PhD in Earth Sciences, and a Diploma in Economics &
Sustainability. In his commercial career, he has assisted the full range of
organisations from the largest global oil & gas companies to the smallest
cleantech start-ups, drawn from markets across the globe, helping each of them
better understand the nexus between technology, markets and investment within
the clean energy transition.
His own independent research covers technology tracking, market
assessment and opportunity/risk analysis. Outcomes are delivered to clients
through a mix of small-group training (online & in-person), one-to-one
executive coaching (online), business advisory work and commissioned written
content.
