It is widely accepted that greenhouse gases, mainly carbon dioxide produced from burning fossil fuels, are the main contributors to climate change. Fossil fuels currently satisfy approximately 85% of global energy demand. Despite significant efforts to increase energy production from renewable sources, fossil fuels are predicted to continue playing a major role in future energy supply. To mitigate climate change while meeting energy demand, the UK and other developed countries have set ambitious targets to reduce carbon emissions through carbon capture and storage (CCS). The MSc in Carbon Capture and Storage has been developed to meet the demand for well-qualified engineers and researchers needed to design, construct and operate carbon capture facilities for fossil fuel-fired power plants and transport networks in the future. The course is suitable for engineering or applied science graduates who wish to specialise in the technical and managerial aspects of carbon capture and transport systems.

The industry led education makes our graduates some of the most desirable in the world for recruitment by companies competing in the Energy sector. Graduates from this course will be equipped with the academic skills and requirements to successfully pursue a range of careers within this industry including positions within power generation companies, CO2 capture and transport industries, research organisations or academic institutions. This qualification could take you onto become a qualified engineer or academic researcher able to meet the demands of a new industry to design, construct and operate carbon capture facilities for new and existing fossil fuel-fired power plants and transport networks.
