The “Geosciences and Energetic Transition Geosciences” Symposium aims to explore the key role of geosciences in fostering a sustainable energetic transition. Within a global context that pursues the reduction of carbon emissions and the adoption of renewable energy sources, this symposium will convene Geosciences researchers, professionals and experts to debate breakthroughs and challenges in key areas such as geothermal energy, white hydrogen and critical minerals.

 

Subtopics:

 

Geothermal Energies:

• Assessment of geothermal reserves in different areas, and their potential as renewable energy sources.

• Emergent technologies in the exploration and exploitation of geothermal resources

• Case studies on successful geothermal energy projects and their impact on carbon footprint reduction.

 

White Hydrogen:

• White hydrogen definition and production based on geological sources.

• Hydrogen benefits as energetic vector in the transition towards a carbon-neutral energy system.

• White hydrogen practical applications in industrial sectors and sustainable transport.

 

Critical minerals:

• Significance of critical minerals such as lithium, cobalt and nickel, in the manufacturing of renewable energy and storage technologies.

• Sustainable and responsible extraction strategies

• Relationship between politics, circular economy and resources global management
