This module introduces the technical, regulatory, commercial, and environmental considerations that shape project development. It examines how storage sites are selected and appraised, how monitoring and verification plans are designed, and how risks are assessed and managed across each stage.
By grounding the content in both scientific principles and practical experience, this module equips learners with a clear understanding of what makes a CCUS project viable, bankable, and compliant with safety and environmental expectations. It serves as a bridge between the conceptual understanding developed in the earlier modules and the economic, policy, and operational frameworks explored in later sections.

What will I learn?
-
Understand each stage of the CCUS project lifecycle, from feasibility assessment, site characterisation, engineering design and permitting, through to operations, monitoring, closure, and long-term stewardship.
-
How storage sites are evaluated and selected, including geological screening, reservoir modelling, injectivity assessment, containment analysis, and regulatory requirements.
-
What international CCUS projects reveal about best practice, including technical, operational, commercial, and governance lessons from major projects in Australia, Europe, Japan, Canada, and the UK.
-
How risks are identified and managed at each lifecycle stage, and how robust monitoring, verification, and compliance frameworks underpin safe and effective long-term storage.
Who is this suitable for?
-
Professionals involved in planning, permitting, or assessing CCUS projects.
-
Policy and strategy practitioners seeking a deeper understanding of the conditions required for successful CCUS deployment.
-
Investors, analysts, and commercial teams who need clarity on where risks and costs arise across a CCUS project lifecycle.
