As the energy transition accelerates, businesses must adapt to increasingly stringent requirements for reducing carbon emissions—often at a significant cost. This training aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the economic aspects related to CO₂. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of the role of carbon pricing, carbon finance, and government policy in shaping decarbonization strategies, as well as the impact of Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) in this evolving landscape.
