Southeast College, in collaboration with PTRC Sustainable Energy, announced the launch of a pioneering educational initiative. An Introduction to Carbon Capture and Storage is an 8-hour workshop, delivered over two mornings on June 10-11, from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

The workshop is designed to equip learners with the knowledge to navigate the rapidly evolving field of carbon capture and storage (CCS).

The course curriculum has been developed by experts from PTRC Sustainable Energy. PTRC has been heavily involved in the research and study of carbon capture, utilization and storage since the advent of the Weyburn-Midale projects, and including the Boundary Dam Unit 3 CCS project. It literally wrote the book on geologic storage of carbon dioxide. The organization has also been responsible for the Aquistore project, which takes carbon dioxide from Boundary Dam Unit 3 and injects it into a deep saline aquifer. Recent moves by the United States Environmental Protection Agency seek to enforce widespread adoption of these techniques and technologies wholesale across that nation’s power generation industry.

For more than two decades now, scientists, politicians and corporate leaders from around the world have come to Estevan, Weyburn and Regina to learn about CCS from the PTRC. And this course is an opportunity for more local people to do the same.

An Introduction to Carbon Capture and Storage workshop features instruction from PTRC presenters: Dr. Marziyeh Kamali, Norman Sacuta, and Brittney Musleh. The curriculum covers a range of topics including an overview of CO2 capture technologies, CO2 storage site screening, reservoir modeling, and lessons learned from the Aquistore injection well.

The course costs $299 per student. The course outline includes:

  • Global Status of CCS
  • Overview on CO2 Capture Technologies
  • CO2 Storage Site Screening and Reservoir Modelling
  • Aquistore Injection Well Lesson learned
  • A Virtual Aquistore Site Tour
  • Risk Assessment
  • CCS Communications and Stakeholder
  • Measurement, Monitoring and Verification (MMV)
  • Aquistore Crosswell Seismic Survey-A Short Clip on the Real-Life Operation
  • Q&A

 

This partnership between Southeast College and PTRC represents a step forward in emerging technology education and reflects both institutions’ commitment to fostering innovation and addressing critical energy transition technologies in the region.

For those interested in exploring the forefront of sustainable energy solutions and gaining insights from real-world projects, this workshop can enhance existing energy professionals and those looking for general interest education, according to the PTRC.
