Masters in Carbon Capture & Storage


On April 23 2009, the UK Government declared that:
  • no new coal-fired powerstations will be built without CCS demonstration from day one
  • existing powerstations must have a full scale retrofit of CCS within five years of the technology being independently judged as technically and commercially proven.
The CCS Masters provides high-level interdisciplinary skills and training in the entire value chain of carbon capture and storage, including combustion, transport, geoscience and legal aspects.

This Programme is designed for science graduates in Engineering or GeoScience related subjects seeking an advanced academic qualification as a launch pad for careers in business, industry and government in the field of low carbon energy production.
