What You Will Study
Delivered within Selby College’s brand-new Carbon Capture and Storage centre and its Institute of Technology laboratory, learners will have the opportunity to use cutting edge technology and training rigs.
The course will be delivered one day a week over five weeks in the classroom, with a mixture of theory and online immersive learning.
What is Carbon Capture?
Carbon Capture is the process of removing CO2 from an emission source. A common method for achieving this is to direct the emissions into a Carbon Capture plant which uses a solvent solution to remove CO2, which is then stored. This is called post-combustion carbon capture using amine solutions.
At Selby College, we have a gas absorption rig which mimics this process. We use water as the solvent so that once the carbon is captured from emissions, we are left with just water and CO2. By using a rig which mimics real-world Carbon Capture methods, learners are able to generate data on the Carbon Capture process and scope whether a plant could be implemented in their particular industry or business.

Further Study
Completion can result in increased responsibilities within an existing role or open up opportunities for a new role. Employers enrolling their employees onto the course will be able to implement Carbon Capture projects within their business or adapt the technology and learning for other applications.
