France: Conference Will Focus on Growth of Renewable Energy, Including Geothermal, in the Energy Mix

1st Geoscience & Engineering in Energy Transition Conference (EAGE)

November 2020, France

The 1st Geoscience & Engineering in Energy Transition Conference (GET) hosted by the European Association of Geoscientists & Engineers (EAGE) will address what skills and what technologies are required to support the growth of renewable energy in the energy mix. The main focus will be on topics related to Geothermal, Energy Storage, CO² Storage and Cross-disciplines.

Furthermore, it gives a forum to exchange the knowledge about CCS, energy storage and cross disciplines like hazardous (nuclear) waste storage, hydrogen/methane production and storage, geochemistry applications, risk and environmental impact analysis, offshore wind energy (turbine placement, engineering challenges, re-use of O&G platforms), etc.

The conference is cross-disciplinary by design. The audience will be composed by geoscientists and engineers working on all subsurface usages, either relevant to energy transition (geothermal and storage) or more traditional resource exploitation; representatives of universities and research institutions, geological surveys, local and national authorities and regulators, petroleum operators and energy utilities, field service and consulting firms are offered a platform to exchange views and experience.

Geoscientifical disciplines will be addressed together with knowledge management, social aspects, financing, governance and policy, and participation from all of these fields is encouraged for the success of the conference.
