Carbon Capture & Storage

This resource has been designed to provide teachers with an introduction to carbon capture and storage (CCS), a carbon emissions reduction technology. It provides experiments, activities, lessons and homework ideas as well as links to a number of other useful CCS education resources. Each module in this booklet has been organised so that it can be run as a standalone lesson, or can be combined to create a mini CCS project over a few weeks, which can also be linked to a visit from GeoBus. 

This resource pack was developed in partnership with The Crown Estate, with support from The Global CCS Institute, Royal Dutch Shell and SCCS. Special thanks to Megan O’Donnell and Katy Relph. These resources and further carbon capture and storage education materials can be found at www.co2degrees.com/learn-more/overview.
