Course Overview

Climate Change: Carbon Capture and Storage by EdX is an introductory course that has been designed for individuals having an interest in sustainability, energy, and climate change. This program aims to cover Carbon Capture and Storage technology objectively and its importance in the current world scenario. 

In the Climate Change certification course, you will be taught by a team of skilled academics at the University of Edinburgh. These instructors have decades of experience in the field and teach to close the gap between the forefront of the newest developments in engineering, science, policy and economics, geology, and the wider audience. 

Moreover, Climate Change: Carbon Capture and Storage training is a 5-week course that requires an effort of 2-3 hours per week. You will earn an official and verified certificate at the end of this online course, signed by the course instructor. This certificate will highlight your advanced skill set and knowledge, and it can be added to your portfolio. 

Learners can choose anyone from the audit or the verified track to finish studying the programme. Both these tracks are self-paced and can be pursued at their own pace. The verified track offers paid but unlimited access to the materials of the course and the audit track offers free but limited course access.
