Geoenergy & Geostorage and Mining Engineering Info Session
Find out more about our programs and be part of the solution to a carbon-free future.
Minerals and energy resources are essential for survival of humanity. They abolish poverty and help excel humankind, or more concretely enable farming, healthcare, communications, water and energy supply, transportation, space technology, renewable energy, and the construction of our cities.
Engineers in minerals and energy sectors will undoubtedly become more important as they will deliver pathways for a greener, safer, and more sustainable future for all of us.
The International Energy Agency (IEA) predicts that current renewables such as solar, wind and hydrogen, will not be able to meet the increasing demand for energy. Development of other renewables sources will be required. The most widely available, but untapped renewable energy source is geothermal energy.
Even if there is a full switch to renewable energy for household demand, there will still be industries that will not be able to switch rapidly. Also, even if we completely switch to renewable energy for household and all industries, we will still need to sequester CO2 for many decades in all net2zero scenarios. Without CO2 sequestration, there will be no carbon neutral future.
We are going through an energy transition.
We invite you to join us for an information session at the School of Minerals and Energy Resources Engineering and be part of the solution to a carbon-free future and help humankind to get future ready and find out more about our programs in Mining Engineering and Geoenergy & Storage Engineering.
This session can be attended in person or online. There will be refreshments for those attending in person.
