CPD Opportunities

If you are looking for Continuing Professional Development (CPD) opportunities for employees with an interest in any aspect of carbon capture and storage, we can provide tailored training to meet your needs. For example, we can offer short courses in CO₂ disposal and reducing the emission of greenhouse gases, or CO₂ injection for geological storage and enhanced oil recovery.

Here you can find out more about some of the CPD short courses we have run in the past. If you have any specific areas of interest, we recommend that you contact us to discuss your requirements at info@sccs.org.uk.

Introduction to CCS

This short training course (half a day or less) provides an introduction to CCUS and is aimed at a range of audiences from local planners who may need to be prepared for CO₂ capture or transport infrastructure planning applications; O&G sector service companies that want to be prepared for the Energy Transition; O&G production companies who want to switch from fossil fuel production to storing CO₂; policymakers aiming to understand how to meet net zero targets, the engineering and construction sector, and other key stakeholders. This training is aimed at upskilling and reskilling individuals in preparation for the transition to green jobs and the growth of the CCUS sector in Scotland.

Programme details:

Carbon capture and storage – the full chain
CO₂ storage – security of storage
CO₂ capture and separation – selection criteria
CO₂ transport – modal choices
CCUS to decarbonise society – hydrogen and utilisation
Projects around the world and the UK industrial clusters

An Introduction to Hydrogen for the Public Sector

This course is designed to support local authority teams with the necessary insights for planning and consenting hydrogen projects to navigate the intricacies of hydrogen-related ventures confidently, with a specific focus on enhancing awareness of the practical considerations involved. Through five comprehensive modules, this course provides an understanding of hydrogen's role in sustainable energy, its various applications, and the implications of its use, giving a solid foundation in this emerging field.

Risk and uncertainty in the geological storage of CO₂

This course introduces risk management techniques and explores uncertainties associated with the geological storage of CO₂. It examines the behaviour of CO₂ in the subsurface and how this information is used to estimate properties of the storage site such as capacity.

Ep 1: Camilla Thomson and Mathieu Lucquiaud

Tue, 11/02/2021 - 15:17

Welcome to the first episode of the SCCS podcast. In this episode we sit down to talk with two University of Edinburgh scientists from the School of Engineering: Dr Mathieu Lucquiaud, Reader in Clean Energy with Carbon Capture and Storage; and Dr Camilla Thomson, Chancellor’s Fellow in Energy. We discuss all things CCS, including their background, research interests, the NEWEST-CCUS project, COP26, and the world's first MOOC on CCS.
