Time: 1h30 pm – 5h30pm
Venue: CREA – SP (to be confirmed)
Language: English with no simultaneous translation
Minimum and Maximum number of participants per course: 5 people / 30 people

Course content

  • Introduction
  • EOR x Saline aquifer storage
  • Geological CO2 storage: requirements, results and risks
  • Brazilian potential for CO2 storage

MC03 – “Introduction to the Carbon Credit Market”

ABOUT THE SHORT COURSES

About the theme:
The energy transition that the world is focused on will need environmental professionals that are prepared for this future that is coming in leaps and bounds. As with new technologies, companies and technicians that are not prepared will quickly become outdated and will have their commercial future compromised due to a lack of training. The carbon market is the first step towards this professional update. And potentially million-dollar markets such as CCS (carbon capture and storage) continue in this wake.
