5th IPGC Course: Introduction to CCUS – Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage
Duration: Half Day
Speaker: Paula Fernández-Canteli Álvarez
Affiliation: IGME – Geological Survey of Spain
Course Descriptiont
This course provides a technical and practical introduction to CCUS (Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage), a key strategy for mitigating climate change by reducing industrial CO₂ emissions. The session will cover core concepts, current technologies, and real-world
challenges, illustrated with European case studies.
Outline
- Introduction to CCUS and Its Role in Climate Change Mitigation
– Carbon cycle fundamentals and global contex - Subsurface Storage Technologies
– Saline aquifers, depleted reservoirs, and suitable geological formations - Monitoring, Risk Assessment, and Geomechanical Considerations
– Site integrity, CO₂ behavior, and long-term safety - Utilisation Techniques and Emerging Industrial Applications
– Innovative technologies for adding value to captured CO₂ - European Case Studies and Key Implementation Challenges
– Lessons learned, regulatory hurdles, and social acceptance
Learning Outcomes
- Understand subsurface storage principles, site selection, and associated risks
- Explore key geological, hydrogeological, and geomechanical aspects
- Review emerging CO₂ utilisation strategies
- Link research outcomes to real-world applications and regulatory frameworks
Registration fee: €50 (Limited places available, only for IPGC 2025 participants)
