What is GEGS?
Geoenergy and Geostorage Engineering is an innovative field that focuses on sustainable practices in the extraction and management of subsurface resources such as carbon dioxide storage, hydrogen energy storage, and energy resources extraction from the earth.
This degree reflects the evolving needs of the energy resources sector, building on the integrated foundation of reservoir engineering, drilling engineering, rock mechanics, and environmental science. It equips students with the knowledge and skillset necessary to navigate and innovate decarbonisation technology to achieve net zero emission economy.
