GTK’s policy briefs are concise presentations based on science, compiling the latest research information in a suitable format for decision-makers and experts.
Geosciences Provide a Solid Foundation for the Energy Transition
The shift in energy production infrastructure towards clean energy requires action across multiple sectors. Geological research is playing a critical role in the transition by enabling the use of geothermal energy, identifying new sources of clean and sustainable fuel such as natural hydrogen, and ensuring required infrastructure such as new power plants, underground energy storage, and safe nuclear waste disposal sites are built on solid foundations.
Geosciences Support the Sustainable Management of Land and Aquatic Environments
Global environmental challenges such as climate change and biodiversity loss require actions and new ways of thinking across multiple sectors. Geoscientific research on carbon storages and sinks, geo-biodiversity, and sustainable land, inland water and sea use provides solutions towards more sustainable land use practices, healthy ecosystems and a resilient living environment.
