Dear Colleagues: The path to a net-zero future runs directly through the earth beneath our feet. We are thrilled to invite you to Geo-Solutions for the Energy Transition, a two-day conference hosted in Building 55 on June 11–12, 2026 organized by the Earth Resources Laboratory<https://erlweb.mit.edu/> (ERL) at MIT. As the global energy landscape shifts, subsurface innovation is becoming the backbone of decarbonization. We will dive deep into the technical and economic scaling of: • Advanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) • Carbon Capture & Sequestration (CCS) • GeoH2 • Critical Minerals • Wild cards This summit will bring together, geoscientists, engineers, policy-makers, and industry leaders to bridge the gap between traditional geoscience and the renewable frontier. Feel free to share this invitation with colleagues who may be interested. We especially encourage students and postdocs to attend and present on their work. The conference will be a mix of oral and poster presentations. Space is limited so advanced registration is required for everyone including MIT/ERL personnel. There is no registration fee. Please register ASAP at the following link: https://forms.gle/4uPvVPExFYegSUeBA Abstract deadline is April 30st: Please submit abstracts to erl-info@mit.edu<mailto:erl-info@mit.edu>. We look forward to seeing you. Best wishes, Oliver Jagoutz Director, MIT Earth Resources Laboratory Cecil and Ida Green Professor of Geology Department of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences
