About this Classroom Training

In response to emerging trends in Net Zero 2050 compliance requirements and the current COP28 Agreement, the landscape of fossil fuel power generation is undergoing a transformative shift, prompting a redefinition of operational strategies. Furthermore, balancing compliance with stringent regulations and meeting escalating energy consumption demands has become crucial. Notably, coal-fired power plants pose significant challenges on this transformative journey, being major contributors to emissions and substantial obstacles to achieving Net Zero Targets and COP28 Agreement signals.

Understanding the nuances of adapting coal-fired power plants to evolving compliance requirements is crucial due to their status as one of the largest sources of emissions. Hence, this comprehensive course enables participants to explore decommissioning, preservation (both long-term and short-term), recommissioning, and repurposing practices for medium to large-sized coal power plants.

Participants will delve into the essential processes, regulations, and best practices involved in safely managing the life cycle of coal power plants, from retirement to rejuvenation. Participants not only comprehend the challenges posed by coal-fired power plants but also acquire the knowledge, tools, and techniques needed to strategically position these assets for a sustainable and compliant future.

This course will be delivered face-to-face over 5-day sessions, comprising of 8 hours per day, 1 hour lunch and 2 breaks of 15 minutes per day. Course Duration: 40 hours in total, 40 CPD points. Maximum number of participants: 20
