NETL is partnering with the Southern States Energy Board and others from industry and academia, to develop the Southeast Regional CO₂ Sequestration Training Program (SECARB-Ed) for the southern United States. This will establish a Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) regional training program to facilitate national and global delivery of CCS technology.

Goal and Objectives

SECARB-Ed seeks to advance the U.S. in its position as the leader in CCS technologies by addressing climate change and developing near-zero emission technologies, thereby significantly reducing carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions from industrial plants.

The project objective is to teach both technicians and commercial professionals to implement and deploy CCS projects in the United States. The training is designed for site developers, geologists, engineers, scientists, and technicians but will be available to others as well. Specific CCS project areas to be addressed are site development, operations, and monitoring of commercial CCS projects. Knowledge and technology transfer will take place through the creation of CCS technology modules and a regional transfer platform.

Tasks

The project will accomplish a series of tasks over a three-year period, including:

• Initiate and implement a SECARB-Ed Sponsorship Development Program that allows SECARB-Ed to be self-sustaining after the initial three-year period by establishing an advisory board, compiling a list of products for revenue generation, and developing and implementing a marketing strategy;
• Establish CCS technology curriculum by identifying topics for short courses, thus positioning SECARB-Ed to take advantage of opportunities to showcase its capabilities, and attaining technical societies' acceptance of the training materials;
• Engage in outreach and networking opportunities by delivering training, providing speakers, and assisting others in the development and delivery of CCS training;
• Facilitate technology transfer through the use of electronic and printed media;
• Support research and outreach/education goals of SECARB.

SECARB Keystone Middle School Teacher Training
July 11-12, 2008, Decatur, Georgia

A workshop for middle school teachers focused on introducing the topic of global climate change to students. The workshop incorporates effective and innovative ideas, activities and methods including, conflict resolution, role-playing, small group work and lab activities. All activities are hands-on and inquiry-based. The program, delivered at no cost to the teachers, was proven successful in helping them make connections between real science and current events. The workshop, developed by The Keystone Center, was entirely funded by the U.S. Department of Energy, the National Energy Technology Laboratory and SECARB.
