We are delighted to welcome our summer interns to etasca. Throughout the Summer they will help build our models, further our thought leadership and work on client facing projects in various areas of energy and chemicals. We asked them for their insight into what challenges lie ahead for the industry. Lance Simandjoentak is a third year UCL chemical engineering graduate joining our team today!   "A crucial concept that I find compelling is the conundrum of the energy trilemma. This revolves around three unique pillars: energy security, energy sustainability and energy affordability. It's clear that the three pillars cannot be thought of in isolation to one another, presenting a complex challenge.   As an example, importing energy sources can supplement domestic inventory and enhance energy security but what happens when the energy security relies on external sources? This can lead to an over-dependence increasing vulnerability and exposure to geopolitical factors contributing to energy insecurity. Imported energy sources can also be subjected to import taxes and price fluctuations. For reference, in 2023, Europe experienced its biggest deficit in oil, where production only met 23% of its demand, gas production only 44% and coal production meeting only 58%. All at a time where Europe is trying to lead the way in the energy transition. The energy trilemma is just one of multiple prospects that challenge industry highlighting the importance of making energy supply affordable. A test case for this is the evolving CBAM regulation which increases energy sustainability factors but could have an impact on energy affordability.   etasca is at the forefront of analysing both market elements and technology factors in the energy and chemical industries as they face up to this challenge. I'm looking forward to joining the team and learning more!"

Subsurface Task Force Skills Chair, Graham Goffey, spoke last month to Allister Thomas at Energy Voice. For those who were unable to access the subsequent piece published online, we have attached the full article below. The Task Force published last month a 3 page Management Summary and Call to Action addressed at companies on all scales employing geoscientists in the energy sector and beyond. This was derived from the 2023 Task Force report 'Geoscience Skills in Crisis; energy sector perspectives and energy transition implications'. We also published a document to make it easier for companies and staff to offer internships, to undertake individual or corporate outreach and we also included details of existing mentoring schemes to enable staff to be mentored or to act as mentor. All of these reports and resources can be downloaded at https://lnkd.in/gqWcAjf3 We encourage you to check out this material on our website and consider how you and/or your company can play a role in encouraging and supporting the geoscientists of the present and of the future.

Do the Summer Olympics have you dreaming of Paris? A Kleinman Center Fellowship can put you right in the heart of the city! This summer, Master of Environmental Studies student Shrey Mehta served as the Kleinman Birol Fellow at the International Energy Agency (IEA). He worked as part of the Gas, Coal, and Power Markets Division under the Electricity Markets and Security Directorate. During his internship, Shrey played a key role as one of the main authors of the "Electricity Mid-Year Update July 2024" report. This comprehensive publication examines critical trends and forecasts in global electricity demand, supply, and emissions. Learn more about the Kleinman Birol Fellowship program on our website.

That's a wrap for this summer's Intern/E&P Connection Mixer events! We are prepping to bring back out Topic Series Events!! Here are a few key takeaways from this summer: - Bright Future: We met many bright young students ready to take on challenges, tackle fieldwork, solve problems, and wear many hats as they enter the workforce. - Company Presence: Companies should reevaluate their presence at schools. Focus on what's impactful, build relationships with schools and students, and provide more opportunities for industry exposure. - University Visits: Don't just settle for an hour-long company advertisement. Offer more substance and discussions that highlight the industry and various career paths. - Connecting with Interns: Our industry needs to improve efforts in connecting with the next generation and making them feel welcome. Even interns can feel isolated, and we need to address that. - Dinner Discussions: The dinners in Houston and OKC were the highlights. Extending our events to include dinner with interns allowed us to share invaluable stories, insights, and takeaways. We look forward to continuing to build the bridge between current professionals and the next generation! #futureofenergy #nextgeneration #petroleumengineers #oilgas #oilandgasindustry

Today is #NationalInternDay & in honor of that, we wanted to shout our three amazing summer interns: Juliette Michaels, Trek Salzer & Haydn Sage! We asked them what being an intern at Nautilus Solar means to them & what their future #career goals are. Let's hear from them: Juliette: "I’m so grateful to be spending my summer as a small part of a great team that has gone out of their way to make me feel included and supported. I’m constantly inspired by the people around me, and their commitment to making a measurable difference in the world. I’m very interested in the intersectionality of community solar as an industry; driving growth in #sustainability and financial accessibility efforts. I know that supporting a mission I believe in is a priority for me as I move forward in my career." Trek: "As an intern at Nautilus, I get to be part of an *energetic* (pun intended) group of people working hard to make #solar energy accessible for people across the country. Going forward, I am looking to build a career in the renewable energy industry and I want to contribute to the continued global energy transition." Haydn: "Being an intern at Nautilus this summer has allowed me to gain a deeper and more nuanced understanding of renewable energy. I am learning something new every day through the knowledge team and this experience has only deepened my passion for sustainability and renewable energy. After graduation I plan to pursue law school and I am particularly interested in environmental and patent law." Thanks, interns, for all your hard work and dedication.

"Thrilled to announce the successful completion of my internship journey at the prestigious National Institute of Wind Energy! It's been an incredible opportunity to immerse myself in the world of renewable energy, learning from experts and contributing to impactful projects.

Ready to apply this knowledge as I continue to pursue my passion for sustainability. #NIWEInternship #RenewableEnergy #SustainabilityJourney"

Coming in at number 2️⃣ for COVE's #YearInReview is how COVE is enabling the workforce of the future! By delivering programs that foster a skilled and knowledgeable workforce for the future, COVE is inspiring young minds to explore and pursue careers in the growing marine technology and sustainable energy industries and creating a pipeline for talent who want to work in marine tech and stay in Atlantic Canada. This year, COVE hired 23 students to work at 18 companies across the marine sector. COVE’s Internship Program aims to accelerate the marine workforce, bring new talents to workplaces, and help diversify the industry. The COVE Internship Program was proud to represent 77% of underrepresented groups, increasing equity, diversity, and inclusion across the industry. “While our COVE Internship Program is valuable to interns, it benefits employers just as much,” said Tanya Lush, Director of Workforce Development at COVE. “Internships have a very close return on investment (ROI) for companies. Employers are exposed to new ideas and technologies from some of the brightest minds in our nation's universities and colleges while building a talent pool that will return to the sector. Our educational programs are led to inspire the young minds of our future, and together, these initiatives will eventually create a full circle.” Another way COVE has enabled the workforce is by providing educational programs for school-age youth. For the first time, in partnership with OffshoreWind4Kids (OW4K,) COVE hosted the OW4K Interactive Showcase at two beaches in Nova Scotia this Summer, teaching youth how to build wind turbines. A first-of-its-kind program in Canada that promotes marine renewable energy education and awareness among youth, nurturing the next generation of leaders who will drive Canada’s transition to a net-zero future. Additionally, when the school year started, the OW4K program moved to classrooms across the province, providing the opportunity to 635 youth at 13 schools across six school boards. COVE’s latest initiative with OW4K is the OW4K Floating Wind Challenge, which is reserved for post-secondary students. The competition will assess their abilities to design and build floating structures that will support wind turbines, all while inspiring them to pursue careers in wind energy. The regional competition winner will receive an invitation to travel to Europe and compete in the international competition. Read more about COVE’s workforce initiatives here: https://lnkd.in/eQAsAqf6
