The MINUS CO2 Challenge 2024 is receiving applications now!

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. 

The Minus CO2 Challenge 2024 main topic will be ‘Geothermal Electrical Power Generation in the Netherlands’.

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:

1. Fill in the Application form.

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.
