Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is an essential technology in the fight against climate change. It offers a viable solution for reducing greenhouse gas emissions by capturing carbon dioxide produced from industrial processes and power generation and storing it safely underground. However, understanding CCS requires more than technical expertise. This five-day training course is designed specifically for non-technical professionals who seek a comprehensive understanding of CCS, its applications, challenges, and opportunities in the context of sustainability and climate action.
