Price volatility does not excuse weak discipline in direct air carbon capture — it punishes it. Regulators and insurers increasingly want documented evidence of how carbon capture is controlled. Across sectors, teams that rehearse the energy and hydrocarbon operations capability outperform teams that only plan it. Participants develop a defensible line of reasoning for the choices they make about direct air carbon capture. The difficulty is not agreeing that this part of energy and hydrocarbon operations matters — it is deciding what to stop doing to make room for it. Participants test their assumptions about carbon capture against scenarios designed to break weak ones. The course gives participants a defensible structure for direct air carbon capture and the judgement to adapt it. Participants who influence carbon capture without directly controlling it will find the content directly usable. Participants leave with a plan for this aspect of energy and hydrocarbon operations sized to what their organisation can realistically absorb.
