Scottish Carbon Capture and Storage (SCCS) MOOC – Climate Change: Carbon Capture and Storage
Deadline: No expiration date More DetailsOpportunity type: Online course
Organisation: SCCS
Location: Online
Application deadline: Available online
Scottish Carbon Capture and Storage (SCCS) is launching it’s MOOC, or Massive Open Online Course, on 1st November 2022 on ‘Climate Change: Carbon Capture and Storage’.
The five-week course, taught by leading experts at the University of Edinburgh, will explore carbon capture and storage (CCS), a set of technologies that can radically rein in CO2 emissions and help nations reach net zero by 2050.
The course, which has seen nearly 25,000 participants from across the world sign up for previous runs, begins on 1 November and places CCS in the context of climate change, global energy and economics, the use of fossil fuels and global climate policy. The world’s first such course to cover CCS and climate change, it has been developed for those with no prior knowledge and this year, for the first time, the course will also be available in Mandarin.
Watch the introductory video and register
Course participants will learn about:
- how to protect the atmosphere, with CCS technology, from an excess of CO2;
- the uniqueness of CCS to complement other low-carbon technologies;
- the potential to make fossil fuels “safe to use” in the context of the Paris Climate Change Agreement of 2015;
- key sectors of the global economy, where CCS can contribute to deep reductions in emissions;
- how CCS can unlock carbon negative solutions, which will need to be used before mid-century;
- the scientific principles of climate mitigation technologies;
- the key elements of geology for permanently, and safely, disposing of CO2 underground;
- the international state-of-play and scale of the industry in the 21st century.
What is a MOOC? The University of Edinburgh has a range of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), which are freely accessible and open-licensed short courses delivered online. On completion, there is the option to gain a Verified Certificate. https://www.ed.ac.uk/studying/moocs
Funding opportunity: UKRI cross research council responsive mode pilot scheme
Deadline: No expiration date More DetailsApply for funding for interdisciplinary ideas that transcend, combine or significantly span disciplines.
You must be based at a UK research organisation eligible for UKRI research council funding.
This pilot scheme will support breakthrough or disruptive interdisciplinary ideas not routinely funded through existing UKRI responsive mode schemes.
Awards will be potentially transformative for the participating disciplines or lead to the creation of new disciplines.
The full economic cost of your project can be between £200,000 to £1.2 million. UKRI will fund 80% of the full economic cost. We expect to make around 36 awards.
Funding is available for up to 2 years.

PhD Studentship: Control and operation of advanced modular chemical looping process
Deadline: No expiration date More DetailsChemical looping reforming in packed bed reactors is among the most promising technologies in the area of syngas and hydrogen production. The University of Manchester is currently building a pilot-scale process to operate the gas-solid reaction close to industrial operations. The plant will be fully integrated with sensors, data recording, inline instrumentation that could provide an incredible amount of data to fully demonstrate the feasibility of the technology towards commercial application.
The main objective of this PhD project is to develop a smart platform towards the digitalisation of chemical looping reforming to optimise the performance of the process.
