地矿油类高校服务国家资源能源战略的困境

A substantial and rapid decarbonisation of the global economy is required to limit anthropogenic climate change to well below 2°C average global heating by 2050. Yet, emissions from fossil fuel energy generation—which dominate global greenhouse gas emissions—are at an all-time high. Progress and action for an energy transition to net zero carbon is critical, and one in which geoscience sectors and geoscientists will play multiple roles. Here, we outline the landscape of the geosciences and the energy transition in the context of the climate crisis, and intergovernmental policies on climate and social justice. We show how geoscience sectors, skills, knowledge, data, and infrastructure, both directly and indirectly, will play a key role in the energy transition. This may be in the responsible sourcing of raw materials for low carbon energy technologies; in the decarbonisation of heating; and in the near-permanent geological capture and storage of carbon through novel technology development. A new and unprecedented challenge is to reach Geological Net Zero, where zero carbon emissions from geological resource production and consumption are achieved via permanent geological storage. We identify overarching and cross-cutting issues for a sustainable and fair net zero carbon energy transition, and the associated geoscience challenges and opportunities. Finally, we call for geoscience professionals to recognise and take responsibility for their role in ensuring a fair and sustainable energy transition at the pace and scale required.

The Energy Geoscience Conference series was initiated as a development from the successful Petroleum Geoscience Conference series which ran from 1974 to 2015. EGC1 was organised by energy geoscientists for energy geoscientists, focussing on geoscientific aspects of 21 st Century energy challenges. The conference was based on the premise and belief that the upstream petroleum sector could help deliver the energy transition by promoting collaboration between academic and industrial geoscientists concerned with energy security, supply, storage and subsurface waste sequestration in order to share subsurface data and understanding. EGC aimed to disseminate high-quality, energy geoscience to a local and global audience via regular conferences and published Proceedings. EGC1 was a three-day meeting supported by the Geological Society and the Geoscience Energy Society of Great Britain that ran from 16 th -18th May 2023 and sold out with over 630 delegates. This paper discusses the rationale and history of the EGC series and outlines the conference development, aims and aspirations. It highlights aspects of the way EGC1 was run in order to promote inclusion, integration and collaboration across sectors. It then reviews the various conference sessions, placing the papers contained within this volume in the context of their respective session and the wider conference.

Geoscience, along with other scientific disciplines, is being increasingly challenged on how it can best confront key global challenges, such as climate change, food insecurity, biodiversity loss, human conflict and migration, and persistent poverty. But its traditional association with exploitation of the planet’s natural resources for energy and materials links it with contemporary concerns around unsustainable human practices, arguably fueling a growing disenchantment that is most evident in declining enrollment in university geoscience courses in many countries. Therefore, a fresh re-framing of the geoscience’s relationship to society would seem to be urgently needed. In response to this need, we introduce the “Three Horizons” concept for visualizing paradigm change in complex systems as a tool to explore how the future global geoscientific mission might be re-imagined. Using this conceptual framework, we consider three parallel pathways – “business as usual” (horizon 1), “entrepreneurial” (horizon 2) and “visionary” (horizon 3)—that offer alternative narrative trajectories for how geoscience and geoscientists might serve society’s grand challenges.

Abstract Great changes of the global energy industry have been caused by the rapid development of unconventional oil and gas. It is necessary to deeply consider the profound influence of the unconventional oil and gas revolution on the classical petroleum geology theory and to review geological conception of oil and gas accumulation elements and theoretic framework of petroleum system, giving the petroleum geology a new academic connotation. The author summarizes the significant progresses of global unconventional oil and gas exploration and development, and points out that the unconventional oil and gas revolution not only has a significant economic significance of oil and gas resource increment, but also brings great innovation to the theory of petroleum geology, thus having important scientific significances. This paper summarizes the core contents of four aspects of hydrocarbon generation, reservoir, distribution and development in classical petroleum geology, and comprehensively reviews the five important nodes in the developmental history of petroleum geology, which include anticline and trap theory, hydrocarbon generation from organic matter and petroleum system theory, continental petroleum geology, marine deepwater petroleum geology, continuous hydrocarbon accumulation and unconventional petroleum geology theory. Unconventional oil and gas has made a great breakthrough to classical petroleum geology on the basic theoretical concepts such as trap, reservoir, caprock, resource distribution, and enrichment, thereby promoting the basic research on petroleum geology to transform into the whole process of hydrocarbon generation, whole type of reservoir, and whole genetic mechanism, deepening unconventional petroleum geology theory, promoting the development and reconstruction of petroleum geology system, representing great significances to the strategic development from conventional to unconventional oil and gas in China or even in the world.

Scotland is committed to be a carbon-neutral society by 2040 and has achieved the important initial step of decarbonizing power production. However, more ambitious measures are required to fully decarbonize all of the electricity, transport and heating sectors. We explore the potential to use low-carbon GeoEnergy resources and bioenergy combined with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) in the Midland Valley area to decarbonize the Scottish economy and society. The Midland Valley has a long history of geological resource extraction and, as a result, the geology of the region is well characterized. Geothermal energy and subsurface energy storage have the potential to be implemented. Some of them, such as gravity and heat storage, could re-use the redundant mining infrastructure to decrease investment costs. Hydrogen storage could be of particular interest as the Midland Valley offers the required caprock–reservoir assemblages. BECCS is also a promising option to reduce overall CO2 emissions by between 1.10 and 4.40 MtCO2 a−1. The Midland Valley has enough space to grow the necessary crops, but CO2 storage will most likely be implemented in North Sea saline aquifers. The studied aspects suggest that the Midland Valley represents a viable option in Scotland for the exploitation of the majority of low-carbon GeoEnergy resources.

The growth of the renewable energy industry is happening at a swift pace pushed, by the emergence of Industry 4.0. Smart technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), Big Data, the Internet of Things (IoT), Digital Twin (DT), etc. enable companies within the sector of renewable energies to drastically improve their operations. In this sectoral context, where upgraded sustainability standards also play a vital role, it is necessary to fulfil the human capital requirements of the imminent technological advances. This article aims to determine the current skills of the renewable energy industry workforce and to predict the upcoming skill requirements linked to a digital transition by creating a unified database that contains both types of skills. This will serve as a tool for renewable energy businesses, education centers, and policymakers to plan the training itinerary necessary to close the skills gap, as part of the sectoral strategy to achieve a competent future workforce.

ABSTRACT China’s “dual carbon” goals necessitate reforms in the higher education system to cultivate interdisciplinary talents with green development competencies. While existing literature predominantly focuses on carbon neutrality technologies, policy pathways, as well as educational investments and returns, this study centers on the driving value of talent cultivation in the dual carbon field for achieving carbon neutrality. Using Southwestern University of Finance and Economics as a case study, we construct a horizontal-vertical analytical framework integrating green economy theory, education for sustainable development theory, and regional coordinated development theory. This framework systematically examines how interdisciplinary integration, curriculum system restructuring, and university-enterprise collaboration can foster professionals aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).The study proposes a “Interdisciplinary Integration × Curriculum Reform × University-Enterprise Synergy” talent cultivation paradigm, offering a reference pathway for emerging economies to balance international standards with localized practices. Additionally, it highlights the need to address common challenges in global dual carbon education through interdisciplinary certification mechanisms, “hybrid-driven” university-enterprise partnerships, and localized curriculum adaptation.
