Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is an interdisciplinary field that combines geology, engineering, modelling, and safety to support responsible CO2 storage. This joint Master’s programme (Sapienza University of Rome and University of Zagreb, with additional partner institutions) trains specialists to evaluate storage options, estimate capacity, and contribute to CCS project planning and monitoring.
The CO2 Geological Storage Master's programme at Sapienza University of Rome is an interdisciplinary course designed to equip students with the necessary skills and knowledge to engage in responsible CO2 storage initiatives. This joint programme, in collaboration with the University of Zagreb and other partner institutions, focuses on the evaluation of geological storage options, capacity estimation, and the planning and monitoring of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) projects.
The curriculum encompasses various aspects of CO2 geological storage, including:
Students will engage in a comprehensive evaluation process that integrates technical assessments, capacity reasoning, and safety considerations in their final evaluation.
Prospective students must possess a Master’s degree in Earth Sciences in accordance with the European Qualifications Framework. Candidates with degrees from non-EU universities may be considered for admission, provided their qualifications are recognized as sufficient by the Scientific Educational Council.
Graduates of this programme will be well-prepared for careers in the rapidly evolving field of carbon capture and storage. They will find opportunities in various sectors, including environmental consulting, energy production, and research institutions, contributing to global efforts in reducing carbon emissions and mitigating climate change.
