Today, we are delighted to welcome @DrHollyElliott from the @BritGeoSurvey to Derby to tell our #GeoEnergy and #EarthSciences students all about the new UK 2024 Criticality Assessment that was released last week.

A terrific lecture clearly demonstrating the huge global demand for #Geoscientists.

It was terrific that University of Derby botanist Dr Alireza Naqinezhad could join PhD Cyril Mbachu at his #EnhancedWeathering field site today. Adding another layer to Cyril’s integrated study in this fabulous rural setting. #CDR #CCS

Day 3 of the @DerbyUni #GeoEnergy field trip is #CriticalMinerals day!

Today we are looking at how the #EnergyTransition to #Carbon #NetZero will require significant investment in #Geoscientists.

Our University of Derby #GeoEnergy students have had a very full day considering the potential for #CCS and #geothermal in the #Triassic of Cheshire. Tomorrow- 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

One of the biggest challenges of the #EnergyTransition to #NetZero #carbon is how to provision electricity when the wind stops blowing and the sun sets. Right now in the UK >59% of electricity is being generated from #FossilFuels - we urgently need #GeoEnergy storage solutions. ⚒️🧪⚡️
