Conference: Geo-Solutions for the Energy Transition

Date: June 10 - 11, 2026 Location: 55-110 | MIT Campus, Cambridge, MA

The path to a net-zero future runs directly through the earth beneath our feet.

As the global energy landscape shifts, subsurface innovation is becoming the backbone of decarbonization. MIT’s Earth Resources Laboratory is hosting a two-day conference to take a deep dive into the technical and economic scaling of:

  • Advanced geothermal systems (EGS)
  • Carbon capture and sequestration (CCS)
  • GeoH2
  • Critical minerals
  • Wild card factors

This summit will bring together geoscientists, engineers, policy-makers, and industry leaders to bridge the gap between traditional geoscience and the renewable frontier. We especially encourage students and postdocs to attend and present on their work. The conference will be a mix of oral and poster presentations.

Advanced registration is required. Free to attend, but space is limited — contact erl-info@mit.edu to request the registration link.

Abstract deadline is April 30th — submit abstracts to erl-info@mit.edu
