Imperial Corporate Training Institute offers Carbon Dioxide Surface Facilities Training Course was created to assist organisations within the Power Generation, Utility, and Energy Infrastructure Industries where CO₂ Regulation, Sustainability Goals and Investor Expectations require that Carbon Dioxide be handled as a key element of their strategic objectives. Corporate entities are under pressure from government agencies, sustainability targets and investors to create safe and reliable facilities for handling Carbon Dioxide which will then be used as an integral part of their Overall Carbon Management Systems. More specifically, the course is focused on the operational, commercial and performance-related elements of Surface Facilities for CO₂. The course explains how managerial decisions relating to Carbon Dioxide Surface Facilities relate directly to risk, compliance, cost control and long-term asset evaluation.
Designed specifically with a focus on the Corporate Sector, this course illustrates how new CO₂ surface facilities connect to existing utility plants, pipelines, compressor stations, meter systems and monitoring equipment. Participants come away with a clear understanding of their emissions handling processes along with the necessary processes to ensure compliance, effectively manage interface issues and optimize performance while continuing to align with Corporate Net Zero Strategies and Decarbonisation Technologies. The emphasis of the course is operational readiness, cross-functional engagement and decision-making, rather than Theory and therefore is highly applicable to senior managers, engineers and technical leads whose organisations have responsibility for CO₂ Infrastructure Training in power and utility portfolios.
Objectives
By the end of this course attendees will be able to:
- Increase company knowledge of carbon dioxide surface facilities within the power and utilities sector
- Enable individuals to assess and manage CO₂ infrastructure training requirements within complex asset portfolios.
- Provide for the successful deployment and effective oversight of carbon management systems, which support the decarbonisation goals of their organisation.
- Enhance operational decision-making with respect to emissions and their handling associated with capturing, compressing, transporting, and utilising CO₂ at surface locations.
- Increase risk awareness of carbon dioxide surface facilities relating to safety, integrity, and regulatory exposures.
- Develop design and operation standards for surface facilities that reflect commercially viable decarbonisation technologies.
- Facilitate cross-functional collaboration among engineering, operations, compliance, HSE, and executive management to help facilitate the successful implementation of carbon management systems.
- Improve Lifecycle performance, cost control, and asset optimisation for CO₂ surface infrastructure.
- Enable companies to successfully manage the interface of conventional utility assets and carbon dioxide systems.
- Strengthen the governance framework to support the monitoring, reporting, and performance assurance functions.
Target Audience
This course is structured for corporate professionals involved in strategic, technical, and operational decision-making within power and utilities environments, including:
- Individuals managing utility operations or power plants who have attended previous sessions focused on emissions reduction initiatives
- Engineering managers whose responsibilities include design, development, and implementation of CO₂ surface facilities and their associated infrastructure
- Asset integrity, reliability, and maintenance managers responsible for keeping surfaces within a CO₂ facility performing as expected
- Project managers that are responsible for providing CO₂ infrastructure improvements and upgrades
- Managers of the energy transition who are responsible for ensuring that decarbonisation technologies will be integrated with existing utility operations
- HSE and risk management experts who manage emissions from CO₂ handling operations
- Technical advisors/consultants who provide guidance and advice to utilities operating carbon management systems on behalf of their large-scale carbon assets
- Executives and other individuals who are responsible for long-term capital planning and regulatory activities related to utility operations.
