Participate in the 2026 Global Energy Transition Challenge

The most recent edition of the Minus CO₂ Challenge, now renamed the Energy Transition Global Challenge, took place in 2025. Congratulations to the team from the Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Petroleum Technology (India) for winning this year’s competition!

Application and selection process

The world is changing – and the challenge of climate change is impacting the oil and gas business in many ways. As with other EAGE field challenges, we focus on a real field dataset bringing practical experience to help students with successful careers in applied geosciences. In the GLOBAL ENERGY TRANSITION contest,  we challenge teams to work with a dataset of a carbon sequestration project. The main topic for the Global Energy Transition Challenge 2026 is yet to be confirmed; however, we would like to hear your ideas on potential energy transition themes. We invite university teams of three to five students to apply to take part in this innovative challenge, which the EAGE Student Fund supports
