Event Information

Society faces a dual challenge: how to make a transition to a low-carbon energy future to manage the risks of climate change, while also extending the benefits of energy to everyone on the planet. This is a challenge that requires changes in the way energy is produced, used and made accessible to more people while drastically cutting emissions.

This transition is under way. It is being driven by factors such as economic growth, evolving consumer habits, emerging technologies and the introduction of national policies. Net Zero pledges are being made and these need to be honoured.

Despite scenarios indicating that oil and gas will be required for decades to come, there are changes in what, how and when to explore and exploit, considering the already discovered resources and new requirements. This means the role of the geoscientist must change too.

Geoscientists have unique insights on long-term processes impacting the earth, are skilled in dealing with uncertainty, collaborate with other sciences and have the ability to deal with large amounts of data. Hence, step-up, be ambitious on your role and seek the dialogue in the energy transition!
