Infocus International Group is bringing back the highly recommended Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage (CCUS) online masterclass and it will be commencing live on the 31st October 2022 and 17th January 2023.

This course is intended for those in business, commercial and strategically focused roles within the energy sector; in particular those responsible for environmental matters, business sustainability and business transformation in areas such as oil & gas, hydrogen and industrial energy usage.

Attendees will leave with a clearly explained and independent perspective on how, where and why CCUS is happening now and could grow in future – covering the range of technological solutions and business drivers, including policy.

In addition to reviewing existing CCUS approaches, the course will highlight new opportunities and integrated value creation possibilities through carbon utilisation.

This will include how the fate of CCUS links to other aspects of the clean energy transition, such as clean hydrogen production, industrial decarbonisation and the transition away from oil & gas.

Past attendee from Solar Clear shared, “This course has provided a good understanding and cleared all false expectations about CCUS and of its cross entanglement to the hydrogen sector and the importance of both for decarbonising the world’s (or part of the world’s) economy.”

“The up-to-date information was provided in course. The materials were available before the course, that is why it was possible to think about questions. The course materials were logically structured. The lecturer was highly professional. The organization of course was wonderful. Thank you very much!”, said a past participant from Latvenergo.

Infocus International introduces online workshop on FinTech & Crypto

Maravi Post Reporter

– –

Infocus International Group, a global business intelligence provider of strategic information and professional services, has launched a brand new online workshop –FinTech & Cryptocurrency which will be commencing live on 9 March 2022.

This is a live online course running over seven sessions. The first two sessions cover FinTech that enable and disrupt existing banking practices by using the possibilities of technology. Participants will identify new challengers that disrupt the status quo.

Participants will see how Alibaba and Starbucks affected payments and how they became a financial services company. Participants will focus on the risks and opportunities, but mostly, participants will identify where the next gold mine lies for financial institutions.

Throughout the online course, we will look at data analytics and what banks have done in the space of systems architecture, payment analytics, behavioural analytics and using neuroscience. All the above requires digital payment solutions.

This begs the question on how to create a digital currency. With blockchain and cryptocurrencies on the rise, the following sessions explain the underlying mechanisms. 

– –

Firstly, we must understand the basics of cryptography. Then, we must understand the Digital Ledger Technology (DLT). In order to master the workings, we breakdown the Digital Ledger Technology into its hashes and blocks before chaining them together to the blockchain.

Then we compare Bitcoin to other cryptocurrencies. During the course, participants will be given free bitcoin to set up a crypto wallet and make some first payments to the peers. After checking out pitfalls and risks, the course will end with a game reinforcing all the learnings. We encourage critical thinking in participants and present the latest knowledge in this area. 

Anna from Italy shared that, “Trainer is simply excellent. Thanks to his clarity, very complex issues become easy and understandable to the great satisfaction of trainees. I go back very often to the notes of that seminar and find them at any time clear and useful.”

Join us and demystify the next paradigm shift in global financial services. Learn more at www.infocusinternational.com/fintech-cryptocurrency.
