Energy Transition
While some see CCS as a vital tool for reducing emissions, others are exploring whether its current deployment aligns with long-term climate and clean energy goals.
A University of Tulsa PhD student Gulnur Ualiyea is advancing CO2 well injection technology through groundbreaking research on downward gas-liquid flow. Her innovative work is gaining global recognition and reshaping the future of sustainable energy.
Global investment in the energy transition is creating high-demand roles for engineers in solar, wind, and digital energy systems. For YPs and engineers, adapting to this shift means upskilling in cross-disciplinary, digital, and sustainability-focused domains to stay competitive.
