TRACS and EPConsult partner in this Engineering the Energy Transition modular training course, leveraging extensive experience and innovative solutions to provide insights and knowledge to participants. The combined expertise will offer a comprehensive understanding of the challenges and opportunities in engineering the energy transition.
Designed for dedicated professionals, including asset team members, reservoir engineers, electrical engineers, team leads, and project managers. Nine half-day modules have been tailored, of which participants would be attending a minimum of five modules. The course can be rolled out over one week face-to-face) or up to several months (fully or partly as virtual learning modules).
The modules are designed for people who want to update or refresh on specific topics without having to spend a week out of the office. The classes are led by experts in their respective fields and provide an opportunity for learning, inspiration, conversation and networking.
Learning Level
Premium Content: Dive deep into nine meticulously crafted half-day modules, with the flexibility to choose a minimum of five modules, ensuring a tailored experience that addresses the nuances of energy transition and renewables.
Delivery Options: Choose between an intensive one-week face-to-face session or a more extended, flexible virtual learning experience over several months, accommodating various schedules and learning preferences.
Why Enrol? Gain valuable insights from experts in the field, update or refresh knowledge without extended time away from the office, and explore the multifaceted challenges of renewable energy projects, including infrastructure, legislation, and market developments.
Energy professionals may choose the modules that focus on the project and business management aspects (Modules 1, 9) or on the engineering attributes (Modules 2, 3, 4). Module 5 showcases Geothermal energy. In Module 6, renewables enter the fossil fuel realm, and Module 7 highlights hydrogen energy storage. Module 8 Highlights Abandonment strategies.
There are few active CCS projects globally, industry experience is limited and many topics are still subjects of active research. As a result, no single person can claim omniscience in all fields of CCS. Considerable domain expertise is available, however, and this course therefore aims to bring multiple
