The purpose of Carbon Capture Usage and Storage (CCUS) course is that to inform you:
1. Why none of the existing technology can single-handedly handle our Climate Change crises.
2. Why many expert believe great investment required in CCS in parallel with existing/new technologies and energy vectors to be able to achieve 2050 goals.
3. How CCUS can offer a long-term solution to help climate change by keeping the temperature well below 2 ºC of global temperature rise.
In this course in addition to various CCUS technologies as one of the method of preventing CO2 emission we also look at some of the global agreements, policies, regulations, best practices, Carbon negative technologies, Renewable energy, Energy vector such as H2 and Electricity, types of geological storage, Global CO2 capacity, and costs of Carbon Capture and Carbon negative technologies.
Finally we finish with some of the important issues such as:
1. Priority for the climate is to stop emissions of CO2 from entering the atmosphere and STOP diverting attention from the end game by too much emphasis on specific Technology or Energy Vector. Hence, to achieve 2050 goals all Existing/New technologies & Energy Vectors must be considered.
2. Also, developing countries issues such as lack of fresh water, treatment system, infrastructure, and investment need to be dealt with since climate change is a global issue otherwise we would not achieve our 2050 goals.
