    About

    Shape tomorrow’s global energy landscape with a first-of-its-kind degree from Australia’s #1 Engineering Faculty. The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) in Geoenergy & Geostorage is a new specialisation that combines the foundations of petroleum engineering with future-focused solutions to support the global transition to renewable energy.

    Geoenergy refers to energy sources derived from the earth’s subsurface, including geothermal energy, oil and gas. Geostorage is the process of capturing and storing substances, like C02, safely underground. Both will play a critical role in creating a net-zero future, placing engineering graduates in high demand.

    Learn from leading academics and industry practitioners as you study sustainable practices in extraction and management of subsurface resources. Develop the skills to lead carbon capture, hydrogen storage and renewable energy projects, while gaining traditional petroleum engineering expertise.

    Lean on UNSW Engineering’s 75-year history of leading research and education in the mining and minerals engineering space. Leverage our global network of alumni and industry partners, including Shell, BHP and Rio Tinto, to unlock a wide range of career opportunities in the evolving energy sector.

    Career

    Future careers

    As we transition towards more sustainable energy practices, the demand for skilled engineering graduates remains high. The sector is expected to create jobs for around 194,000 workers by 2050 with close to 60,000 new roles due to emerge in the next 6 years, according to the 2023 Australian Industry Energy Transition Initiative report. While many of these roles will focus on solar and wind energy, hydrogen and storage, expertise in traditional petroleum and mining engineering will remain essential to support the transition as oil and gas companies begin shifting to alternative energy solutions.
