MSc Carbon Capture and Storage

The UK's first MSc on CCS. This programme provides training in reservoir geology and an overview of geological carbon storage including capture and economic aspects. It is designed for science graduates in Engineering or Geoscience-related subjects, who are seeking an advanced academic qualification as a launch pad for careers in business, industry and government, in the field of low carbon energy production and hydrocarbon production. A 12 month duration MSc by teaching and 3 month dissertation.

CPD courses

The UKCCSRC offers accredited CPD courses on aspects of CCS for Early Career Researchers and professionals working in field. Past courses have covered CCS (overview course) and CO2 Storage and Monitoring. The CCS overview CPD course provides a fundamental understanding of CCS technology, including capture, transportation, and storage.

Carbon Capture and Clean Fossil Fuels

"Students taking this course will be able: - To understand how the environmental impacts of fossil fuels in general can be minimised - To understand how syngas can be generated and used - To understand issues relating to industrial CCS - To understand how a range of technologies, including more advanced power cycles and/or more efficient heat recovery and utilisation, can minimise the costs of CO2 avoidance - To understand CO2 capture from a range of processes, including how efficiency drops for power stations are calculated - To understand CO2 storage - To consider issues of media report

CCS Research Program

Research Masters Carbon Capture and Storage

Researchers in the CCS Group use experimental and numerical modelling techniques to address questions about CO2 injectivity, the mechanisms of oil mobilisation during CO2-EOR, CO2 migration and trapping from pore scale to basin scale, and the security of storage over thousands of years. These activities all contribute to a better understanding of the risk assessment, management, optimisation and cost reduction in CO2 injection operations.

MSc Petroleum Geoscience

The Petroleum Geoscience programme is jointly offered by Heriot-Watt University and Edinburgh University, with external staff from Durham University, and combines the expertise available at each of these three institutions to create a unique programme in subsurface geoscience and exploration. The Petroleum Geoscience degree provides participants with a thorough training in aspects of subsurface geology, geophysics and geo-engineering, relating to the exploration, appraisal and development of subsurface resources.

Environment and Resources

A component of CCS is included in this undergraduate programme. This module aims to give students an understanding of the mode of formation, distribution and extraction of the Earth's resources and energy and of the Earthås water cycle.

1 week Carbon Capture Technologies modular

To mitigate climate change while meeting energy demand, the UK and other developed countries have set ambitious targets to reduce carbon emissions through carbon capture and storage (CCS). This short course introduces to the delegates different technologies and strategies for CO2 emission reduction from power generation and energy intensive industries. The course will be delivered by a team of leading researchers working on different aspect of CO2 capture from material, process modelling through to integration (https://www.cranfield.ac.uk/Courses/training/Carbon-Capture-Technologies)

Carbon Capture and Storage MSc/PgCert/PgDip

The course consists of nine modules - eight compulsory and an optional module which is selected from a suite of three options. You will also complete an individual research project. For part-time students, who are not able to do the group project, an extra optional module will be taken in order to complete the programme.
