Energy Transition and Sustainability (ETS) Technical Division of the CEGA

The Energy Transition and Sustainability (ETS) technical division comprises a group of geoscientists with a mutual interest in the evolution of the global energy market, and how innovation, technology, and sustainable practices are being incorporated into responsible exploration and development of natural and renewable resources. The primary objectives of ETS are to: investigate and discuss how the skillsets of currently trained oil and gas geoscientists fit into the evolving energy and environment landscape; evaluate what training and knowledge is required to thrive in changing workplaces and a dynamic economy; and how these professionals can use current and acquired skills to pivot to new industries and sectors. Topics of focus: - Carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) - Computational geosciences and data science - Critical elements and energy minerals - Digitalization of industry and its applications (e.G., Internet-of-things, artificial intelligence, machine learning, cloud computing, block chain technology, etc.) - Environment, social and corporate governance (esg) - Geofluids (e.G., Boron, iodine, lithium, etc.) - Helium - Hydrogen - Sustainable practices related to natural and renewable resource development - Wind - Solar - Tidal energy
