ABOUT THIS VIRTUAL INSTRUCTOR LED TRAINING (VILT)
This 2 half-day Virtual Instructor-Led Training (VILT) course will guide
participants on the technoeconomic aspects of capture, utilization and
geological storage of carbon dioxide. The VILT course will address the methods
and techniques used in the technoeconomic assessment of Carbon Capture,
Utilization & Storage (CCUS) projects. It will explore in detail the factors
that affect the cost-effectiveness of current and emerging technologies for CO2
capture, transport and geological storage, including monitoring and
verification. Given that the successful deployment of CCUS may require economic
incentives, technical and economic drivers such as technological innovation,
optimization, source sink matching and emerging opportunities will also be
discussed.
In addition, using several worked examples and case studies, this VILT course
will explain the principles behind the analysis of the costs and opportunities
of a CCS / CCUS project from source to sink and examines the possibilities of
using carbon dioxide from an economic perspective.
Training Objectives
Upon completion of this VILT course, participants will be able to:
* Describe the economic considerations for CCS / CCUS projects
* Measure and calculate the cost-effectiveness of CCS / CCUS
* Identify the economic drivers for CCS / CCUS
* Understand the value of source to sink matching
* Outline the economic and environmental opportunities as well as challenges
with using carbon dioxide injection in a range of applications
* Recognize niche opportunities for CO2 storage (coal seams, basalts, salt and
others)
Target Audience
This VILT course is ideally suited for a technical audience such as
geoscientists, petroleum and chemical engineers as well as professionals such as
economists, regulators, legal staff and managers wishing to learn more about the
details of economic aspects and the basis for techno-economic analysis of Carbon
Capture, Utilization and Storage projects. The VILT course is presented in an
interactive workshop format, allowing for discussions.
Participants should have:
* Basic background knowledge of CCUS technologies
* Experience with oil and gas, coal or other energy projects
* Basic understanding of the energy industry
Course Level
* Basic or Foundation
Training Methods
The VILT course will be delivered online in 2 half-day sessions comprising 4
hours per day, with 2 breaks of 15 minutes per day. The VILT course is presented
in an interactive workshop format that allows discussion.
Course Duration: 2 half-day sessions, 4 hours per session (8 hours in total).
Trainer
Your expert course leader received his B.Eng. in Chemical and Environmental
Systems in 2002 from Tecnológico de Monterrey, Mexico, and his Ph.D. in
Chemical Engineering in 2008 from the University of New South Wales (UNSW), in
Sydney, Australia, at the UNESCO Centre for Membrane Science and Technology. His
doctoral used computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to analyse the flows within
membrane modules used for water treatment and desalination. He also worked on a
desalination linkage project between the UNSW and the European Union, as part of
Framework Programme 6.
From 2009 to 2014, he worked for the Cooperative Research Centre for Greenhouse
Gas Technologies (CO2CRC), where he led the research into CO2 Transport
Networks, co-led the development of a techno-economic model for the analysis of
Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) projects, and collaborated on several
consultancy and feasibility studies conducted by CO2CRC for both Government and
Industry. From 2014 to 2019, he held a CONACYT Research Fellowship at the
Instituto Tecnológico de Sonora (ITSON) in Mexico, where he led collaborative
research projects dealing with RO membrane biofouling (IHE-Delft), membrane
modifications, solar energy use for desalination (CSIR-CSMCRI India) and CFD
modelling of the hydrodynamics in membrane modules (UMP Malaysia).
Since July 2019, he is a Research Fellow in the School of Chemical and
Biomolecular Engineering at the University of Sydney, where his research focuses
on finding ways to reduce the cost, energy use and environmental impact of
technologies for providing clean energy and water. From 2015 to 2020, he was a
Member of the Board of Directors of the Mexican Society of Membrane Science and
Technology. He guest edited a special edition on CCS for the Journal
'Technologies' and is currently an Editorial Board member for the journal,
'Energies', a peer-reviewed open-access scientific journal. His research
interests include improving the efficiency of osmotic membrane separation
processes, modelling complex processes involving heat and mass transfer, and
exploring the economic drivers of low emission technologies such as the Carbon
Capture and Storage (CCS) chain.
POST TRAINING COACHING SUPPORT (OPTIONAL)
To further optimise your learning experience from our courses, we also offer
individualized 'One to One' coaching support for 2 hours post training. We can
help improve your competence in your chosen area of interest, based on your
learning needs and available hours. This is a great opportunity to improve your
capability and confidence in a particular area of expertise. It will be
delivered over a secure video conference call by one of our senior trainers.
They will work with you to create a tailor-made coaching program that will help
you achieve your goals faster.
