Minus CO2 Challenge - A great challenge is coming!
The EAGE Green Fund is inviting all our student members from around the world to participate in the Minus CO2 Student Challenge. This competition aims to encourage innovation and environmental awareness amongst the next generation of geoscientists and engineers.
And the winner is.....
The Carbonitos Team from IFP School France! Congrats, well done team!
A big thank you for the Runner up teams, great job!
Green Team from The University of Barcelona
Team Mauá from the Fluminense Federal University.
The Minus CO2 challenge has not only resulted in high quality proposals for a net-zero CO2 development plan for an oil and gas discovery. It also showed how a younger generation looks at the energy transition. With a realistic and enthusiastic mindset, they see their own future as geoscientists, who turn natural resources into energy in a sustainable way, without any net CO2 emission.Taking these challenges and environmental requirements as a natural part of their job. This is really encouraging for the future of geosciences.
Enhance your scientific and technical knowledge
The world is changing – and the challenge of climate change is impacting the oil and gas business in many ways. As with our other EAGE field challenges, we will focus on a real oilfield dataset that will provide practical experience that can help students develop successful careers in the applied geosciences. In the Minus CO2 Student Challenge, we challenge teams to use a subsurface hydrocarbon resource but with zero net emissions of CO2 to the atmosphere. Any form of CO2 management may be used in association with the hydrocarbon resource model (eg. CO2 capture, CO2 storage, CO2 EOR or other renewable energy options).
We invite university teams of three to five students to apply from 20 February to 15 April 2020 and take part in this innovative challenge, which has also received generous support from EAGE Green Fund.
Every team that applies received an assignment, which is sponsored by Equinor, to work with.
Your team will have the opportunity to propose a novel way of utilizing this resource with zero-net emissions.The first assignment should be submitted by 15 June 2020. In this first round, the best 6 teams will be selected for the next round of selection.
Please complete the submission of the assignment and if you have any further question do not hesitate to contact us via students@eage.org.
