Masterclass CCUS

Discover the world of CCUS in one day

CCUS technologies play a crucial role in reducing CO2 emissions and achieving climate goals. This masterclass provides a comprehensive overview of the entire CCUS value chain: from CO2 capture and transportation to storage and utilization.

Financial and legal aspects, such as policy frameworks and investment models, are extensively covered. There is also a focus on public acceptance and how to create support for CCUS projects. Practical lessons from leading projects such as Porthos and Aramis illustrate how CCUS can be successfully applied and scaled up.

Benefits

• In-depth knowledge of the technology and processes behind CCUS.
• A realistic perspective on the future of CCUS and its alignment with climate targets.
• Practical insights into the economic feasibility and business cases of CCUS.
• Concrete lessons from successful CCUS projects, such as Porthos and Aramis.
• Exchange of knowledge and experience with experts and like-minded professionals.

The masterclass provides an in-depth exploration of Carbon Capture, Utilisation, and Storage (CCUS), a groundbreaking technology that is essential in the fight against climate change. During this intensive one-day masterclass, you will gain insights into:

• The process of capturing CO2 emissions from industrial processes and power plants.
• Opportunities to reuse captured CO2 in applications such as synthetic fuels, construction materials, or enhanced oil recovery.
• The safe storage of CO2 underground to prevent its release into the atmosphere.

The relevance of CCUS has never been greater. Global climate goals, as outlined in the Paris Agreement, are unattainable without this technology. In this masterclass, we address questions such as: How advanced are the technologies? What are the economic and technological challenges? What policy initiatives are supporting CCUS worldwide?

Additionally, inspiring case studies will be discussed, including the Dutch projects Porthos and Aramis, which play leading roles in European CCUS development. These projects offer valuable lessons on designing, financing, and implementing large-scale CCUS solutions.

What You Will Learn

After this masterclass, you will be able to:

• Define CCUS, its core objectives, and its role in reducing CO₂ emissions in line with climate targets.
• Identify and evaluate various carbon capture technologies, including their operational principles, advantages, limitations, and financial aspects.
• Explain the methods for carbon utilisation, transport, and storage, and assess the associated risks and benefits.
• Analyze the challenges and opportunities for large-scale CCUS adoption, incorporating policy frameworks and public acceptance.
• Critically evaluate current CCUS projects by comparing costs, benefits, and business cases to determine effective implementation strategies.
