Supporting in Carbon Capture Project Development

At the International CCS Knowledge Centre (Knowledge Centre), we take climate action seriously. We are dedicated to advancing the understanding and use of large-scale carbon capture and storage (CCS) to manage greenhouse gas emissions globally.
We know that the world can’t get to net-zero starting from ground zero – so we provide the know-how to implement large-scale CCS projects as well as CCS optimization. We house experts who were instrumental in the development and operations of the Boundary Dam 3 CCS Facility, the authors of the comprehensive second-generation CCS study, known as the Shand CCS Feasibility Study, as well as the leaders in the Lehigh CCS Feasibility Study, examining the application of carbon capture on cement.
We offer practical, hands-on experience-based guidance, and technical advice for planning, design, construction, and operation of large-scale applications of CCS from thermal power to industrial processes.
One of the biggest challenges for deploying CCS to large emitters is the capital and operational costs of the CCS facility and the balance of the plant that is required to support the CCS operation. With this Mitacs funding, the interns will assist in the Knowledge Centre to perform pre-feasibility, feasibility and Front End Engineering Design (FEED) studies of CCS project development in the various sectors including industrial and power production. The interns will contribute their Knowledge in Process simulation (using Aspen Plus and Aspen Hysys) to improve process efficiency, perform cost estimation and find innovative, cost-effective means to improve and promote the deployment of CCS projects.
