Moderated by our very own London AAPG YP's Energy Transition Manager Toby Alozie. Toby is currently a Product Manager at tem. A company involved with Renewable Energy, revolutionised for small businesses.
WEBINAR ABSTRACT
As geoscientists, we acquire a deep understanding of the subsurface and natural systems. The projects we undertake are often complex, multidisciplinary, and integrated, requiring the processing and interpretation of large datasets. To meet ambitious global climate goals, entire new low-carbon energy systems need to be developed and implemented on a large scale, along with sustainable sourcing of construction materials. This must be accomplished within a timeframe that aligns with international climate targets and increasing global energy demand. Additionally, societal acceptance of these significant changes is crucial for success.
As the Energy Transition accelerates, the demand for skills and knowledge will significantly increase in the areas of Low Carbon Fuels, Critical Minerals, Carbon Storage, Geothermal Energy, Geological Hydrogen and Helium, Energy Storage, Hydrogeology, Environmental Geoscience, Geohazards and Engineering Geology. Geoscientists will have a key role in these new industries and help to find more sustainable methods and technologies to power our world.
Geoscientists will also be required to support the effective communications to non-technical audiences and use our knowledge and influence to help gain social license to operate for the many different types of projects that will be needed.
It is also important to remember that the Energy Transition isn’t just about decarbonization. We also need to consider security and access, environmental sustainability and economic growth and development. Being able to access clean and affordable energy is essential for economic prosperity, and while large regions of the world don’t have access, political and social instability is a risk.
