Department of Energy Grant for Regional Carbon Sequestration Workforce Training

111-5, (Recovery Act or Act). The Recovery Act¿s purposes are to stimulate
the
economy and to create and retain jobs. The Act gives preference to
activities
that can be started and completed expeditiously. Accordingly, special
consideration will be given to projects that promote and enhance the
objectives
of the Act, especially job creation, preservation and economic recovery, in
an
expeditious manner. Carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies offer
great
potential for reducing CO2 emissions and mitigating global climate change.
Deploying these technologies will require a significantly expanded
workforce
trained in the various specialties that are currently under-represented in
the
United States. Education and training activities undertaken will develop a
future generation of geologists and other scientists, and engineers that
will
provide the human capital and skills required for implementing and
deploying
CCS technologies. Grant applications are sought from companies, trade
groups,
and other organizations that can develop regional sequestration technology
training to facilitate transfer of knowledge and technologies required for
site
development, operations, and monitoring of commercial CCS projects. This
training will focus on the applied engineering and science of CCS for site
developers, geologists, engineers, and technicians. In addition, these
training
activities will provide a technology transfer platform for CO2
sequestration
related technology information and insights on a basin scale level to the
sequestration industry in a concise, meaningful format that stimulates
timely,
informed technology decisions. This regional CO2 sequestration technology
training will advance the United States in its position as the leader in
technology for addressing climate change and for developing near-zero
emission
technologies to significantly reduce CO2 emissions from power plants.
Development of this training will make a vital contribution to the
scientific,
technical, and institutional knowledge necessary to establish frameworks
for
the development of commercial CCS projects. This training will produce the
workforce necessary for the CCS industry with skills and competencies in
geology, geophysics, geomechanics, geochemistry and reservoir engineering
disciplines.
