This module provides a comprehensive introduction to the operational realities of CCUS, the hazards associated with CO₂ handling, the regulatory expectations for safe transport and injection, and the monitoring systems that verify performance over decades. Delegates will explore the physical properties of CO₂ that give rise to specific safety risks, the design requirements for pipelines and wells, the role of monitoring and verification technologies, and the environmental considerations associated with land, air and water protection.
By grounding technical topics in accessible explanations and case studies, this module prepares delegates to understand what it means to operate CCUS infrastructure safely and what responsibilities fall to project developers, operators, regulators, and wider stakeholders throughout the project lifecycle.
