This 3-month programme is non-credit-bearing and non-accredited, delivered by ECT’s affiliated institute, EIT, and therefore your certificate of completion will be awarded by EIT. This professional certificate is distinct from ECT’s undergraduate and postgraduate degree programme offerings.
The world is facing threatening climate challenges and the energy situation in the world is changing quickly. To achieve the UN goal of reliable and sustainable energy for all, energy conversion and reduction of CO₂ emissions are critical. Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is generally considered a key technology to decrease carbon emissions from the energy industry during the transition to renewable energy generation, and in the longer term to decarbonize refining, iron and steel, cement, chemical and other industries. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), CCS is the most significant technology option for reducing direct emissions from industry, with the potential to mitigate 2 to 2.5
Gigatonnes of CO₂ per year globally by 2050. Achieving this target reasonably requires a combination of advanced expertise in subsurface engineering and innovative thinking.
This course explores how the technology of CCS and utilization can deliver a long-term solution to provide a long-term solution to reduce excess carbon dioxide in our atmosphere. CCS prevents carbon dioxide emissions from penetrating the atmosphere and deposits them permanently and securely underground. The goal of CCS is to bring about heavy reductions in carbon dioxide emissions to the atmosphere.
The course is composed of 12 modules.
To obtain a certificate of completion for EIT’s Professional Certificate of Competency, students must achieve a 65% attendance rate at the live, online fortnightly webinars. Detailed summaries/notes can be submitted in lieu of attendance. In addition, students must obtain a mark of 60% in the set assignments which could take the form of written assignments and practical assignments. Students must also obtain a mark of 100% in quizzes. If a student does not achieve the required score, they will be given an opportunity to resubmit the assignment to obtain the required score.

You are expected to spend approximately 5-8 hours per week learning the course content. This includes attending fortnightly webinars that run for about 90 minutes to facilitate class discussion and allow you to ask questions. This program has a 65% attendance requirement in the live webinars in order to graduate from the program. If you are unable to attend the live webinars, you have the option of watching the recording of completed webinars and sending a summary of what you have learnt from the webinar to the Learning Support officer. The summaries go towards your attendance requirement for the program.
This program is run online on an intensive part-time basis and has been designed to fit around full-time work. It will take three months to complete.
We understand that sometimes work commitments and personal circumstances can get in the way of your studies, so if at any point you feel that you are struggling with the pace of the course or finding a particular module challenging, you are encouraged to contact your designated Learning Support Officer for assistance.
Registrations are open for our upcoming intakes. Please ensure you book your place at least one week before the start date of the program.
