Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) Fundamentals for Non-Technical Professionals
Course Overview
The global push toward sustainability and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions has placed Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) at the forefront of environmental innovation. As organizations navigate the complexities of decarbonization, understanding the fundamental principles of CCS becomes essential for non-technical professionals across sectors. Recognizing this need, Pideya Learning Academy offers the Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) Fundamentals for Non-Technical Professionals training program, designed to equip participants with a foundational understanding of CCS and its role in achieving a sustainable future.
In 2023, global investments in CCS technology exceeded $4 billion, reflecting a 24% increase from the previous year. Reports indicate that CCS could mitigate up to 20% of the emissions needed to meet the targets of the Paris Agreement by 2050. These figures underscore the urgency for professionals to develop an understanding of CCS technologies, regulatory frameworks, and their strategic implications for industries aiming to achieve net-zero targets.
This training program provides an integrated overview of CCS, emphasizing its critical role in addressing climate change. Participants will delve into key concepts, including the capture, transportation, and storage of carbon dioxide, and explore how these processes align with industry-specific goals. Designed for professionals without a technical background, the course bridges the knowledge gap, ensuring participants can confidently engage in CCS discussions and initiatives within their organizations.
