- The CCUS Landscape – From Concept to Corporate Imperative5
- 1.1Understanding global decarbonization drivers: Net Zero, COP commitments, Carbon Budgets.
- 1.2Where CCUS fits in the carbon abatement hierarchy (Avoid → Reduce → Capture → Offset).
- 1.3CCUS value chain overview: Capture → Transport → Utilization → Storage.
- 1.4Key Concepts: post-combustion capture, oxy-fuel combustion, DAC (Direct Air Capture), BECCS, carbon intensity metrics.
- 1.5Discussion: “Why CCUS matters now” – industry perspectives from Oil & Gas, Cement, Steel, Power, and Chemicals.
- Technologies and Mechanisms of Carbon Capture5
- 2.1Absorption, Adsorption, Membrane Separation, Cryogenic Distillation
- 2.2Efficiency vs Cost trade-offs – Solvent regeneration energy, CO₂ purity, and scaling challenges
- 2.3Industrial sources of CO₂ emissions and integration feasibility
- 2.4Interactive Demo: Mapping CO₂ sources in your own operations (participants identify potential capture points)
- 2.5Emerging trends: Modular capture units, hybrid systems, and AI-driven optimization in capture processes
- Utilization Pathways – Turning Carbon into Value5
- 3.1CU applications: Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR), carbon-to-chemicals, carbon-to-fuels, building materials (carbonates, aggregates), polymers, and algae-based utilization
- 3.2Economic viability & carbon credit mechanisms (Voluntary Carbon Markets, Article 6)
- 3.3Case study: Tata Steel’s CO₂-to-ethanol pilot
- 3.4Case study: LanzaTech’s carbon-to-fuels technology
- 3.5Group Exercise: Identify potential utilization pathways for a sector
- Storage Strategies & Risk Management5
- 4.1Geological storage options: saline aquifers, depleted reservoirs, unmineable coal seams.
- 4.2Site selection, integrity testing, and long-term monitoring (MMV frameworks).
- 4.3Leakage prevention, well integrity, and closure protocols.
- 4.4Legal and regulatory frameworks (IEA, IPCC, ISO 27914 standards).
- 4.5Case study: Norway’s Sleipner Project – lessons from 25+ years of injection
- Implementation Challenges, Business Models & the Road Ahead5
- 5.1CCUS economics: CAPEX/OPEX profiles, carbon pricing, incentives, and policy mechanisms (45Q, EU ETS, India’s CCUS roadmap).
- 5.2Business models: hub-and-cluster approach, public–private partnerships, cross-sector collaboration
- 5.3Barriers: technology readiness, financing, policy gaps, and stakeholder buy-in
- 5.4Designing a CCUS project – Create a conceptual CCUS roadmap for a chosen industry scenario (steel, cement, energy)
- 5.5Key enablers for CCUS adoption in emerging markets.
