| Course description | The course complements other in-depth courses on CO2 capture engineering available to MSc students by considering the role that CO2 capture options could play in the 'bigger picture' of electricity and energy systems. In addition to introducing core engineering principles, a number of non-technical issues that impact on CO2 capture plant design (e.g. legal requirements, public acceptance) will be considered. Additionally, engineering and economic aspects of CO2 transport infrastructure development will be considered. |

Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes
On completion of this course, students should be able to:
1. Outline typical motivations for undertaking carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects and key technology options available for implementing such projects.
2. Undertake screening analysis of multiple technology options available in engineering project development, both individually and as part of a team.
3. Understand the importance of non-technical aspects in design and development of engineering projects.
4. Analyse a range of non-technical factors affecting engineering project development and suggest appropriate approaches to include these factors in project planning.
5. Apply quantitative methods to inform technology assessment and interpret the results of such quantitative assessments as an input to decision-making.
6. Appreciate the importance of considering multiple operating options in engineering decision-making and undertake initial analysis to determine which options might be most important in different operating contexts.
7. Select and implement robust approaches for analysis of CCS systems, including appropriate treatment of CO2 transport infrastructure options. |
