The workshop is designed for a wide range of attendees with both technical and non-technical background including:

• Suppliers to the LNG industry to have a broad knowledge of the processes involved and the technical/commercial issues affecting the business

• Managers with a specific knowledge of part of the LNG business with a broader understanding of the overall LNG value chain

• New entrants to the LNG business with an understanding of scope and size of the business and the activities involved.

• Sales, finance and non-technical staff who require an overview of the LNG business.

• Anyone requiring an understanding of how the LNG industry works

The workshop provides an understanding of the scope and size of the LNG industry, the value chain elements, the basic technologies involved, a commercial understanding of the value chain elements and the complexities involved in developing an LNG project.

The supply/demand overview provides an understanding of how the industry has developed and the opportunities and constraints on future development of the LNG industry and the challenges it faces.

This workshop will be of benefit to all who hope to work in the nuclear sector and who currently have little understanding of the industry.

The workshop is intended to be an introduction to those who have not previously worked in or for the nuclear industry but perhaps would like to become involved with the “nuclear renaissance” that is being experienced around the world.

The course is intended as an overview and combines elements of history (to understand why we are where we now are), science and technology.

The course offers an overview of the oil and gas industry and is written and presented in a manner suitable for people of a non-technical background. The purpose of the course is to enable all those without a technical background to have a better understanding of the industry. The attendees will be equipped with sufficient knowledge to allow them to offer more effective support to their technical colleagues as well as potentially advance their chosen career paths. The scope of the course covers all the main sectors of the industry from the reservoir to offshore production and processing to crude oil refining and gas utilisation. For each of the main sectors the activities and technology will be explained in a clear, concise manner with the objective of introducing the day to day terminology and phraseology of the industry. The course will comprise short lectures, video clips and question and answer sessions as appropriate.

This workshop has been designed for managers, engineers, graduates, operators, maintenance and other personnel who are new to or are requiring insight into the modern power generation industry.

This one day workshop will enable delegates to gain an appreciation of the fundamentals involved in the power generation industry and provide an appreciation of how modern day power plant works, including relevant terminology. The workshop will also include a site tour for attendees’ appreciation and understanding of the process of plant layout and design involved in the operation and maintenance of a fossil fired power station.

This workshop has been designed for managers, engineers, graduates, operators and other personnel who are new or are requiring insight into the Refining and Petrochemicals industry. The workshop will provide an excellent overview for people from technical, non-technical and commercial backgrounds, who have limited experience and wish to improve their familiarity with some of the systems and technologies involved.

This one day workshop will enable delegates to gain an appreciation of the fundamentals involved in the Refining and Petrochemicals industry. Delegates will gain insight into the key processes and technologies behind modern day refineries and petrochemical complexes.

This workshop will enable delegates to gain an appreciation of the fundamentals involved in renewable energy generation and provide an appreciation of how the technology works, including relevant terminology.

This workshop will provide an overview of the renewable energy sector. It will introduce the different technologies, including in the wind, solar and biomass sectors, as well as associated issues such as planning constraints and network integration.

The Centre for Energy and Resource Technology at Cranfield University brings together capabilities from across the University to address issues affecting the national climate change and energy agendas in areas such as energy security, control of energy price, power generating capacity, resource efficiency, waste disposal and pollution control.

The Centre has a number of important projects including a nationally funded initiative by the Energy Technologies Institute (ETI) to identify next generation technologies for producing energy from waste. The Centre has a programme of work on the national agenda of energy technology, resource management and carbon capture and storage.

There is an urgent need to increase development and use low-carbon technologies to meet ambitious EU Renewable energy targets. The future security of our environment, economy, and our energy supplies depends on making informed decisions now.
