Participate in the 2024 Minus CO2 Challenge
The most recent edition of the Minus CO2 Challenge took place in 2023. Congratulations to the team of the University of Boumerdes (Algeria) for winning this year’s challenge!
The MINUS CO2 challenge applications will be open soon.
Application and selection process
The world is changing – and the challenge of climate change is impacting the oil and gas business in many ways. As with other EAGE field challenges, we focus on a real field dataset bringing practical experience to help students with successful careers in applied geosciences. In the MINUS CO2 contest, we challenge teams to work with a dataset of a carbon sequestration project.
We invite university teams of three to five students to apply to take part in this innovative challenge, which has also received support from EAGE Green Fund.
To ensure a successful application you should be aware of the rules and procedures of the MINUS-CO2 challenge.
How to apply:
- Fill in the Application form.
- Attach a signed ‘Declaration of Academic Integrity
- Include a Motivational Letter explaining also why renewable energy is important in the future and how geoscientists and engineers can make the energy transition a reality.
Every team selected in the first round will receive a dataset to work with. They will have the opportunity to analyze the dataset and propose a project with zero-net CO2 emissions.
If you have any further questions do not hesitate to contact us via students@eage.org.
The deadline for applications will be announced soon.
