CO₂ Transport Networks for CCUS – Integrate Pipelines, Shipping, and Storage into Efficient CCUS Transport Networks

By the end of the course, participants will be able to:

• Explain the full CCS/CCUS value chain and describe how transport integrates with capture, conditioning, and storage systems in industrial CCS hubs.
• Analyse CO₂ thermodynamic behaviour, including phase envelope characteristics, dense phase transport conditions, and the impact of impurities on fluid stability and transport performance.
• Evaluate pipeline transport design and operational constraints, including pressure management, fracture risk, transient behaviour, and safety implications of CO₂ release scenarios.
• Compare different CO₂ transport modes (pipeline, ship, truck, rail) and assess their technical, operational, and safety limitations within multimodal CCS systems.
• Assess flow assurance, materials selection, corrosion mechanisms, and risk factors affecting the safe and reliable operation of CO₂ transport networks.

This course is designed for professionals involved in the development, design, operation, and evaluation of CCS and CCUS transport systems.

It is particularly relevant for engineers and technical specialists working on CO₂ infrastructure projects, as well as professionals transitioning from oil and gas systems into carbon transport and storage applications. Typical participants include pipeline engineers, process engineers, flow assurance engineers, production and operations engineers, and facilities or concept engineers working in upstream or midstream energy sectors.

The course is also highly relevant for project engineers, technical advisors, and consultants involved in CCS feasibility studies, FEED preparation, or infrastructure development.

• Basic
• Intermediate

The course combines structured technical lectures with applied engineering discussions and case-based learning to support practical understanding of CO₂ transport systems. Participants engage with real engineering scenarios covering pipeline design, multimodal transport integration, flow behaviour, and risk evaluation. Group discussions and problem-solving exercises are used to reinforce key concepts and encourage application of theory to CCS system design challenges.

Your expert course leader is a highly experienced CCS and flow assurance engineer with a career spanning all phases of energy project development, from early concept studies through FEED, execution support, and operational optimisation. He holds a PhD in Process Integration and Chemical Engineering from the University of Manchester, with deep academic and industrial expertise in modelling, optimisation, and multiphase systems.

He has extensive industrial experience in CCS and hydrogen systems, he led multidisciplinary engineering teams across global CCS and hydrogen projects. In this role, he was responsible for technical governance, project delivery consistency, and strategic CCS system development, including hub-based transport networks and infrastructure reuse studies.

He held senior roles at Genesis Oil and Gas Consultants, Xodus Group, and FEESA, where he led flow assurance and CCS transport studies for major international energy operators. His project portfolio includes significant contributions to developments such as White Rose CCS, Porthos CCS, HyNet, Aramis CCS, Greensand, and Moomba CCS, where he worked on pipeline design, transient modelling, CO₂ specification development, and system operability.

He has also acted as technical advisor on complex CCS transport systems involving CO₂ shipping, elevated pressure transport concepts, and integrated asset modelling for decarbonisation clusters. His work includes both engineering delivery and strategic advisory roles, supporting operators, developers, and technology providers in CCS deployment.

In addition to his industry work, your expert course leader has a strong academic and research background, having worked at Imperial College London on flow assurance, transient modelling, and hydrogen systems. He has published extensively on CO₂ thermodynamics, CCS transport systems, and flow assurance, and is actively involved in international CCS conferences and technical committees.
