Contenus de l'unité d'enseignement

The Carbon dioxide (CO2) Capture, Utilisation and Storage (CCUS) course is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of various carbon capture, utilisation (CCU), and storage (CCS) technologies aimed at mitigating CO2 concentration from the atmosphere and converting it into value-added products. CCUS is a critical solution for addressing global warming, enabling the transition to a sustainable low-carbon economy while ensuring energy security.

This course covers the entire carbon circle, starting from CO2 capture technologies, utilisation pathways, and long-term storage solutions. The course will explore the integration of CCUS into existing energy systems, its role in decarbonising different sectors and its potential to support renewable fuels and chemical production.

Acquis d'apprentissage (objectifs d'apprentissage) de l'unité d'enseignement

By the end of this course, the students will have a comprehensive understanding of CCUS (CCU and CCS) technologies. They will be able to:

  • Explain the principles, processes, and technologies involved in CCUS
  • Assess the role of CCUS in mitigating climate change and supporting the transition to a low-carbon circular economy
  • Design and propose strategies for integrating CCUS into existing energy systems
  • Experimental knowledge of representative CCU processes
  • This course aims to inspire students to pursue careers in research and innovation focused on sustainable energy technologies

Savoirs et compétences prérequis

The course will start from the very basics. A strong interest towards sustainable energy technologies is a must. Primary knowledge of catalysis, chemical technologies, and process design would be beneficial but not mandatory for this course.

Activités d'apprentissage prévues et méthodes d'enseignement

The course is organised as follows:

~26 h lecture (~12-13 lectures)

~26 h practical (experimental demo, industry/laboratory visit, soft skill development)

Mode d'enseignement (présentiel, à distance, hybride)

Cours donné exclusivement en présentiel


Informations complémentaires:

The course will be taught through face-to-face lectures. Classroom lectures are very important as they facilitate advanced learning through group discussions, creative thinking and interactive question-and-answer sessions. Therefore, maximum attendance in classes is always expected.

When necessary (for example, in the event of a transportation strike), lectures can also be conducted in hybrid mode.

Online platform for the hybrid mode lecture(s): Microsoft Teams. The invitation link will be shared with the students prior to the lecture.

Supports de cours, lectures obligatoires ou recommandées

Plate-forme(s) utilisée(s) pour les supports de cours :
