Course Description

This micro-credential course provides an introduction and overview of Clean Energy Pathways (CEPs) for the energy transition. All of the CEPs considered in this course require subsurface evaluation.

The CEPs covered are:

  • Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS)
  • Hydrogen Production and Storage (HPS)
  • Geothermal Energy (GE)
  • Critical Elements for the Energy Transition (CEET)

The SECE program is designed to educate hydrocarbon industry professionals interested in exploring new opportunities in the rapidly emerging area of clean energy. 

Course Details

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

  • Explain the critical role of four CEPs (CCS, HPS, GE and CEET) to achieve global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reductions
  • Discuss fluid properties and phase behaviour of CO2 in the subsurface
  • Provide examples of subsurface targets for geological carbon storage
  • Understand methods used for containment and conformance monitoring of CO2
  • Discuss innovative methods for producing hydrogen from natural gas, bitumen and coal
  • Discuss targets and methods for utility-scale storage of hydrogen in the subsurface
  • Explain the principles of geothermal energy, including in hot sedimentary basins and using closed-loop systems
  • Understand the characteristics of critical elements (minerals) for the energy transition, with specific application to lithium, uranium and helium

Format:

  • Asynchronous content: videos, assigned readings; at your own schedule
  • Synchronous content: webinars, panel discussions; scheduled in D2L

Assessments:

  • Knowledge checks: not graded, but required to ensure understanding achieved
  • Final exam: graded, letter-grade assigned, requirement of B- for successful completion
