About the Carbon Capture and Storage training 

Carbon dioxide emissions aren’t stopping anytime soon—and that’s a problem. By 2050, even under the best-case scenarios, we’ll still be pumping billions of tons of CO₂ into the air each year. 

To reach net zero, we’ll need to remove as much carbon as we emit. That’s where Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) comes in. 

This course explains how CCS works: 

• How carbon is captured 

• How it’s transported and stored 

• The incentives driving adoption 

• And the real-world economics that could make or break it 

By the end, you'll understand the value chain, policy landscape, and technological frontiers shaping one of the most debated climate tools of our time.

Learning objectives

In this Primer, you will learn: 

• Why carbon removal is essential—even with aggressive decarbonization underway. 

• The differences between major carbon capture methods, including point-source capture and direct air capture (DAC). 

• How captured CO₂ is transported—and why pipelines are the only viable large-scale solution. 

• What makes a geological site suitable for long-term carbon storage, and what other end uses are being explored. 

• How government incentives like tax credits and emissions caps are shaping the CCS landscape. 

• What drives the cost of CCS—and what factors influence whether a project is economically viable.
