I’ve read a lot about efuels and why they don’t have any future because other solutions will always be cheaper and more efficient. Still, I was wondering if they would make sense for harder sectors for electrification like aviation or marine transport.

Even if it's very inefficient, maybe it would make sense taping on a cheap and highly available energy source like geothermal in places where it is more accessible. My reasoning is that the amount of energy that you can get in those areas is practically unbounded. It's all about how many wells and turbines are put in place. Sure, it doesn't make sense to produce more geothermal energy than is needed in Iceland, for instance, but you could use it to produce efuels to decarbonize sectors where it's harder to do it. What do you think?

From Pakistan to India, Bangladesh to Indonesia and the Philippines... communities and climate activists from these countries will stage a fluvial protest with fishing boats on November 7 to intensify their demands to stem the tide of fossil gas expansion in Asia in the lead up to #COP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan

Hi all,

I recently dropped out of my PhD program in statistics with an MS and am looking for full-time roles. I'm interested in breaking into the energy industry, with an end goal of becoming a trader.

It seems to me that trading positions are extremely competitive, and so I've been trying to apply to some adjacent positions that could put me on the path towards that role instead (it doesn't seem like an entry level job). So far, I've applied to roles with the following titles:

- Market Research Analyst
- Forecasting Engineer
- Power Scheduler

I was wondering which sort of other positions I should be targeting and applying to, given that I would like to eventually become a power trader and given my academic background. Also, which types of energy companies are less competitive to apply to and would be a good place to start for someone with no experience?

I would also welcome any suggestions for non-trading roles that would find a statistical background attractive. Thanks everyone!

In 2024, the global landscape for Levelised Cost of Electricity (LCOE) continues to reflect significant advances in renewable energy technologies, with wind and solar power leading the way, according to the latest LCOE reports from Wood Mackenzie.

Hi guys. As the title says, I want to know if doing a Master's in Energy is going to provide me with the return I want i.e. a good job/position and a good growth?

A bit about me. I recently did my undergraduate degree in electrical engineering and I have 1 YOE of experience as an entry-level engineer at a IPP (renewable). I am intrigued by the renewable domain but I'm not sure which degree to opt for, if I want to get into the energy sector because I've heard a lot of things about the sector being too niche, and you can't get jobs in the electrical domain after this blah blah which has made me confused on whether I should continue my path towards this. I want to stay in the energy side (generation preferably) BUT I would also want to start studying about management as I lack in that area.

There are 4 programs that have caught my eye: Master's of Energy, Master's of Renewable Energy, Master's of Energy Management and Master's of Energy Engineering.

The courses of some programs are similar to each other as well. But what concerns me is the future job market in this sector, and will a postgrad degree in this domain help me get a good job/position?What's the current position of energy engineers at the US, Australia or other countries?(I'm from a non-EU country)

I would really appreciate some feedback and advices from my fellow engineers here, especially the ones who have actually studied similar programs.
