This foundational module provides a clear and structured foundation in the science, purpose, and core concepts behind Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage (CCUS). As countries and industries work toward net zero, understanding why CCUS exists, how it works, and where it fits within wider decarbonisation pathways is essential. Throughout this module, delegates will explore the key drivers behind CCUS, its role in reducing emissions from hard-to-abate sectors, enabling low-carbon hydrogen production, complementing renewable energy systems, and delivering durable carbon removals through BECCS and DAC. It also establishes the basic science of CO₂, including its sources, behaviour, and environmental impact, along with a high-level view of the capture, transport, utilisation, and storage stages that form the CCUS value chain.
