Energy Transition Challenge: Transferring Critical Technical Skills to the Emerging Renewables Sector

About

We are happy to have the EAGE’s Decarbonization and Energy Transition Committee (DET) as part of our Pathway Net Zero webinar series. In this webinar we will learn more information about the committee’s mission.

Carla Martin-Clave, will introduce the DET community and how they promote discussion around solutions to tackle climate change and energy security within the new Energy Transition framework.

Meet industry expert, Katie Ireland, a Geoscientist who transitioned from the Exploration and Production sector to the offshore wind who will share their experiences.

Learn which key transferable geoscience skills exist between the oil & gas and emerging renewables sectors.

The EAGE DET community is the network of members interested in sharing knowledge and developing skills among geoscientists and engineers working with decarbonization and energy transition technologies. The aim of the DET community is to promote the discussion about solutions to tackle climate change and energy security within the new Energy Transition framework. The DET is open community working to help professionals to share their experiences about transitioning from oil and gas to other growing energy sectors such as wind, solar, CCUS, geothermal or Hydrogen.

Presenters

Carla Martín Clavé

Engineering geologist, Jacobs and Chair, European Association of Geoscientists and Engineers’ Decarbonisation and Energy Transition committee

Carla Martín Clavé is currently working as an engineering geologist at Jacobs, while also chairing the European Association of Geoscientists and Engineers’ Decarbonisation and Energy Transition committee. Martín Clavé did her BSc in geology at the University of Barcelona. She was awarded a scholarship by Repsol to study an MSc in geophysics at the University of Barcelona. Since completing her master’s, Martín Clavé' has dedicated herself to the energy transition pathway. She did her EngD in underground gas storage in salt caverns as part of the EPSRC CDT programme in carbon capture and storage and cleaner fossil energy at the University of Nottingham, sponsored by the British Geological Survey. This past November, Carla Martín Clavé was chosen by The Engineering Group of the Geological Society (Eggs) as the 25th Glossop Award winner.

Katie Ireland

Senior Geologist, Ørsted

Katie Ireland is currently working as a Senior Geologist in the Geological and Geophysical Assessments Team at Ørsted, as team lead for their Taiwan APAC assets. Katie made the transition from oil and gas into the renewable wind sector via the STEM Returners program after a career break. She has ~8 years’ experience as an Exploration Geoscientist in oil and gas companies with global operations and a PhD in Geoscience. In September, Ireland was announced as winner of the Engineering Returner of the Year 2022 at the Engineering Talent Awards.
