Climate Change: Carbon Capture and Storage at Coursera Course details
- What you'll learn
- How to protect the atmosphere with the technology of Carbon Capture and Storage, often called CCS, from an excess of carbon dioxide
- The fundamental drivers to make fossil fuels ‘safe to use’ in the context of the Paris Climate Change agreement of 2015
- Key sectors of the global economy where CCS can contribute to deep reductions in emissions
- The uniqueness of CCS to complement other low-carbon technologies
- The atmosphere is a shared resource and the amount of greenhouse gases it can absorb is a finite resource
- This introductory course to the technology of Carbon Capture and Storage is designed for a wider audience with an interest in energy, sustainability and climate change
