The training is delivered through a structured and highly interactive approach that combines both technical depth and commercial relevance. It includes instructor-led lectures to provide a solid foundation of key concepts, complemented by real-world case studies derived from cross-project benchmarking to illustrate practical applications. Participants will engage in interactive group discussions to apply concepts to realistic industry scenarios, alongside scenario modelling sessions that enable real-time evaluation of economic outcomes and system trade-offs. Quantitative exercises are incorporated to strengthen understanding of cost structures and decision variables, while open discussions and Q&A sessions ensure clarity, knowledge exchange, and alignment with participants’ specific operational challenges.

Your Expert Course Leader is a Technical Director and Materials Engineer specialising in CO₂ transport, LCO₂ shipping value chains, maritime decarbonisation, and industrial energy transition strategies. He currently leads strategic decarbonisation and carbon management engagements, where he advises Global 1000 organisations across the energy, maritime, and heavy industry sectors on the technical, economic, and operational deployment of carbon management solutions.

With extensive international project experience, he has led and contributed to multiple strategic studies related to CO₂ transport infrastructure, low-carbon fuels, and LCO₂ shipping systems. His work includes techno-economic assessments of carbon capture, compression, conditioning, transport, and storage pathways, with a strong focus on system-level integration and infrastructure readiness across Europe, North America, and Asia-Pacific. Among his notable LCO₂ and CO₂ transport-related engagements, he led a major technology scouting project focused on the conversion of captured CO₂ into liquid fuels such as methanol and gasoline, evaluating mature suppliers and emerging technologies. The project assessed key parameters relevant to the LCO₂ value chain, including CO₂ purity requirements, conditioning and handling specifications, energy consumption, process integration, cost structures, by-products, and infrastructure considerations.

He also developed long-term maritime decarbonisation and low-carbon fuel infrastructure roadmaps, analysing vessel compatibility, bunkering infrastructure, fuel availability, logistics, and deployment constraints for future marine fuel systems. His projects further included strategic assessments of CO₂ shipping economics, transport networks, hub-and-cluster infrastructure models, and the integration between emitters, shipping fleets, terminals, and storage sites. In addition, he has worked extensively on CCUS market intelligence, supplier benchmarking, and infrastructure studies, including evaluations of CO₂ transport and storage pathways, shipping versus pipeline trade-offs, regional deployment readiness, and transport solutions for small-scale and distributed emitters. His expertise spans multiple hard-to-abate sectors such as oil and gas, and industrial manufacturing.

Your Expert Course Leader is also an active contributor to international thought leadership initiatives and industry conferences. He presented research at the 17th International Conference on Greenhouse Gas Control Technologies (GHGT-17), focusing on the techno-economic viability of CCUS deployment pathways for the mining industry. He has also contributed to industry-wide studies and publications related to carbon management, industrial decarbonisation, and CO₂ infrastructure development. Alongside his industry work, he serves as an Associate Professor and Lecturer in Materials Science and Engineering at several universities, combining deep technical expertise with practical industry application. His academic and industrial background includes advanced materials engineering, industrial systems, corrosion monitoring, ageing management, and failure analysis within highly regulated sectors.
