2nd International Conference on Energy Geotechnics 

Held Under the Auspices of ISSMGE Technical Committee 308 on Energy Geotechnics

La Jolla, California, USA - April 10-13, 2022

Thank you for your participation! The recorded presentations will be made available to delegates in the coming month.

Conference Overview

With ever increasing energy demand and related climate change implications, the development of sustainable energy systems based on integrated schemes of energy production, transport, transfer, and storage is an important challenge to society. The broad and emerging area of Energy Geotechnics has the potential to address this challenge from multiple perspectives. Energy Geotechnics integrates concepts from geotechnical engineering and geomechanics with cross-disciplinary collaborations with geology, hydrology, geophysics, geochemistry, petroleum engineering, and energy policy.

Building upon the 1st International Conference on Energy Geotechnics held in Kiel, Germany, this conference will provide a platform for interaction, communication, and technology transfer for academic and non-academic parties, including researchers and practitioners, in the broad areas within Energy Geotechnics. The conference will include the 1st ISSMGE Energy Geotechnics Honour Lecture, keynote addresses, technical sessions following the conference themes, and minisymposia organized by TC308 Committee Task Force leaders.   

The San Diego area offers various research institutions, government organizations, and companies in the Energy Geotechnics field and is an excellent location for international research exchange. It is a very convenient place to travel with favorable weather.
