The world is changing – and the challenge of climate change is impacting the oil and gas business in many ways. In the Minus CO2 contest, we challenge teams to work with a dataset of a carbon sequestration project.
The Minus CO2 Challenge 2025 main topic will be ‘Carbon Storage & Energy Storage in Cambro-Ordovician Saline Aquifer Systems: North America & Worldwide’.
We invite university teams of three to five students to apply to take part in this innovative challenge, which the EAGE Student Fund supports.
To ensure a successful application you should be aware of the EAGE Minus CO2 Challenge 2025 Rules and Procedures.
Application Deadline: 18 May
The finals of the Minus CO2 Challenge 2025 will be held at the EAGE GET Conference in Rotterdam (The Netherlands).
The selected winners will then have the opportunity to showcase their innovative project on a special session.

The EAGE Green Fund is inviting all our student members from around the world to participate in the Minus CO2 Student Challenge. This competition aims to encourage innovation and environmental awareness amongst the next generation of geoscientists and engineers.
The world is changing – and the challenge of climate change is impacting the oil and gas business in many ways. As with our other EAGE field challenges, we will focus on a real oilfield dataset that will provide practical experience that can help students develop successful careers in applied geosciences. In the Minus CO2 Student Challenge, we challenge teams to use a subsurface hydrocarbon resource but with zero net emissions of CO2 to the atmosphere. Any form of CO2 management may be used in association with the hydrocarbon resource model (eg. CO2 capture, CO2 storage, CO2 EOR or other renewable energy options).
We invite university teams of three to five students to apply from 22 April to 21 June 2024 and take part in this innovative challenge, which has also received generous support from EAGE Green Fund.
Every team selected in the first round will receive a dataset to work with. They will have the opportunity to analyze the dataset and propose a project with zero-net C02 emissions.
Please find more information about this challenge here and complete the submission of the assignment.
