Lecture Series

Fundamentals of Negative Emission Technologies with a Focus on DACS

Overview

This lecture series offers a comprehensive foundation in the field of Negative Emission Technologies (NETs), with a specialized focus on Direct Air Capture and Storage (DACS). The curriculum explores key concepts, techniques, and considerations related to CO₂ capture and storage, equipping participants with the scientific knowledge and technical skills required for effective DACS implementation.

By approaching NETs and DACS from the perspective of different disciplines, this format promotes transdisciplinary understanding and lays the foundations for interdisciplinary collaboration.

Curriculum Topics

The principal investigators of the DACSTorE project take turn giving a lecture about their part of the DACStorE project, including an introduction into the topic aimed at an interdisciplinary audience, and further information, or suitable own research. At least 1 scientist per project partner will give a lecture.

Scope and Framework Conditions

• Duration: 1.5 hrs per lecture (60 min. lecture + 30 min. discussion)
• Frequency: Once per month during the semester lecturing period
• Availability: The lecture will be recorded and made available to the research school members for later reference.
• edX course: An edX course will be developed based on the lecture series after its termination. edX is an American massive open online course provider created by Harvard and MIT to host online university-level courses to a worldwide audience.
