PETROENG 7073 - Carbon Capture & Storage in Geological Formations

North Terrace Campus - Semester 2 - 2023

Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is a critical technology in mitigating the effects of climate change, which involves capturing greenhouse gas emissions from heavy industries such as steel and cement, oil and gas, and mining, and storing them in underground geological formations. Students in this course will gain a comprehensive understanding of the principles and practices of carbon capture and storage in geological formations. Through a combination of lectures, tutorials, simulations, and group activities, students will develop the knowledge and skills required to engineer and design effective CCS systems. This course is a core requirement for the Bachelor of Engineering (Petroleum) (Honours) program and is also available as an elective for students in chemical, mining, civil and mechanical engineering. The course will cover key aspects of CCS including geological concepts, carbon capture technologies, geochemical reactions, site selection, and flow simulations. The course is delivered in intensive format, from 9 am to 5 pm over 7 days during the semester. The first 6 days of the course include a range of learning activities including lectures, tutorials, group projects, and simulations. Students will also work collaboratively in teams, building critical thinking and problem-solving skills that are essential for success in engineering and other STEM fields. The last day of the course (day 7), that is typically timetabled 4 weeks after day 6, will focus on regulatory framework, public engagement and techno-economic assessment of CCS projects. The group presentations are also due in day 7 of the course. Assessment in this course will include an essay and group presentation, tutorial submissions, and an end of semester exam. These assessments are designed to test the knowledge and skills acquired during the course, as well as to encourage students to engage in critical thinking and analysis.

Student Feedback

The 最新糖心Vlog places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the 最新糖心Vlog to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

Fraud Awareness

Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.

The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide is committed to regular reviews of the courses and programs it offers to students. The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide therefore reserves the right to discontinue or vary programs and courses without notice. Please read the important information contained in the disclaimer.
