Carbon Capture & Storage Essentials: From Capture to Permanent Storage

About Course

This microlearning course introduces the fundamentals of carbon capture and storage (CCS), the technology used to capture carbon dioxide emissions and store them permanently underground. Learners will explore common capture methods, how captured CO2 is transported and stored, and why ongoing monitoring matters. Designed for beginners, the course takes approximately 10-13 minutes to complete.

Explain the general purpose of carbon capture and storage
Distinguish between post-combustion, pre-combustion, and oxy-fuel capture methods
Describe how captured CO2 is generally transported to a storage site
Identify general types of geological formations used for CO2 storage
Explain the general purpose of monitoring, measurement, and verification (MMV)
Recognize why CCS is considered part of broader emissions reduction efforts
