The atmosphere is a shared resource and the amount of greenhouse gases it can absorb is a finite resource. This introductory course to the technology of Carbon Capture and Storage is designed for a wider audience with an interest in energy, sustainability and climate change.
The aim of Carbon Capture and Storage is to achieve - Deep reductions in carbon dioxide emissions to the atmosphere - Unlock carbon negative solutions to achieve a neutral carbon balance to the atmosphere in the 21st century Carbon Capture and Storage makes cheap, widely available fossil fuels ‘safe to use’ in the context of the Paris Climate Change agreement of 2015. It prevents their carbon dioxide emissions from entering the atmosphere to store them permanently and safely underground. The course is taught by a team of leading academics at the University of Edinburgh with decades of experience in this field. It aims to bridge the gap between the forefront of the latest developments in science, engineering, geology, policy and economics, and the wider public. The aim is to help you understand this technology objectively and why it is so important in our efforts against climate change. We hope the course will make you want to find out more about climate change mitigation options and that you will continue to further educate yourself in this area. Learners can apply for Financial Aid directly with Coursera to assist with the cost of accessing the full course and gaining a certificate for successfully completing the course.

Here's a way you could express your gratitude: I extend my heartfelt gratitude to all the instructors of this Climate Change related course. Your dedication, expertise, and passion for the subject have made this learning journey truly remarkable. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and insights, and for guiding us towards a better understanding of CCS technology and its crucial role in combating climate change. Your commitment to excellence has inspired and empowered us to make a positive difference in the world. With deepest appreciation, thank you!
I am familiar with the methods of carbon capture use and sequestration and Direct Air Capture but was not aware that this was one of, if not the only, practical methods of reducing the impact carbon emissions from the atmosphere. I found the course very informative; Edinburgh University should make a documentary type presentation to explain the facts of fossil fuel use and carbon capture and sequestration to the general public.

Completíssimo, linguagem acessível
Usefull and well explained
Curso muito completo!
Excellent course!
The course is quite informative. I could learn a lot, but I also needed to read a lot of on different homepages to fully understand everything. That made it sometimes a bit challenging as I expected to get all information in the course. Many times, links in this course have not been actual anymore and ended up somewhere in nowhere. This should be taken care about. Some quizzes within the modules where numbers needed to be incorporated as results did not work or have not been fit to the numbers provided for calculations - I tried different result and rounded up and down, but every result was incorrect. However, this has been the case for some optional quizzes, may not super important. At the beginning, it was mentioned to use the discussion panel for further learning with other participants. I did not really find that useful. What would be helpful from my perspective to provide a summary sheet by pdf- file containing all the important information and take aways after each module. No matter what, for those who are not familiar with CCS, this course can give many insights and knowledge.
The original lecture starts quite sometimes a go, but the topics got update frequently. Great class to gain knowledge about Carbon Capture, I hope there's part 2 to discuss about Carbon Trading. One of the lecturers have accent, sometimes quite hard to understand what he says. Turn on CC for non-English native speaking will help.
war sehr informative
very nice
Very bad grading.
