Play a critical role in the transition to renewable energy and contribute to a more sustainable future with a Master of Engineering Science (Geoenergy & Geostorage) degree from Australia’s #1 Engineering Faculty. With geoenergy science and engineering set to play a crucial role in the global energy transition, you’ll gain critical skills for addressing the global challenges of climate change.
Geoenergy and geostorage engineering is an innovative field that intersects with petroleum engineering. It focuses on the sustainable use of earth’s resources, including carbon capture and storage, seasonal hydrogen or energy storage, and extracting heat, energy or saline brines from the earth. This master's degree builds on the skills in a traditional petroleum engineering degree, with reservoir engineering, geomechanics and environmental science.
Australia’s gas, petroleum, mining and minerals industries remain vital to the economy, but net-zero targets are driving investments in decarbonisation, carbon capture and storage and renewables. Expertise in these areas is increasingly important.
This first-of-its-kind, future-focused degree allows you to explore emerging technologies and sustainable solutions to climate change. You’ll graduate with the knowledge and skills needed to lead the sustainable energy landscape of tomorrow.
