Energy Transition continues to play an increasingly important role in the energy landscape. This year, we are pleased to include the Energy Transition Area as part of the Annual Conference & Exhibition.
The Energy Transition Area features a dedicated theatre programme and provides a platform for exhibitors and professionals to present their technologies, services, and ideas through technical talks, mini workshops, and panel discussions over three days. The programme will highlight forward-looking technologies and workflows alongside the main EAGE technical agenda.
Each day will begin with Lightning Talks, short presentations delivered by participating exhibitors and academic institutions, combining both technical and commercial insights. Please note that these talks are not part of the official technical programme or conference proceedings.

Special Session
A 21st Century Scientific Odyssey: the Geological Basis for Relocating Ancient Ithaca
10 June 2026 | 10:20 – 12:00 CEST
Where: Energy Transition Area
Homer’s epic poems The Iliad and The Odyssey describe Odysseus’ 20-year journey to, and return from, the Trojan War around 3000 years ago. They include a number of Bronze Age (Mycenaean) sites, the location of which have long been sought by archaeologists and classical Greek Scholars. In contrast to other sites like Troy and Mycenae, the location of Odysseus’ homeland, Ancient Ithaca, has proved to be more elusive. Whilst a modern island bearing its name lies in the Ionian Sea, archaeological evidence is lacking to support it hosting a major Bronze Age settlement. Moreover, and significantly, the poems highlight a striking geographic inconsistency since Homer’s description of its ancient counterpart states it was low lying and lay in a westerly (outboard) location relative to Same, Doulichion and Zakinthos.

Special Session: Managing Subsurface Uncertainty in the Energy Transition
Warming up Aberdeen to Geothermal & Overview of Geohazards and Geo-engineering Constraints to Wind Farm Development on Formerly Glaciated Margins
10 June 2026 | 13:00 – 14:20 CEST
Where: Energy Transition Area
- How can Aberdeen heat homes and buildings more sustainably while supporting a fair and practical energy transition for its communities? The Aberdeen Geothermal Feasibility Pilot (AGFP) is exploring whether geothermal heat could become part of the answer by gathering the first direct subsurface evidence needed to assess the city’s potential. A research project funded by UKRI-NERC and led by the University of Aberdeen, AGFP combines an instrumented on-campus research borehole with a dense passive seismic survey across the city to map the subsurface to depths of up to 5 km.
- Offshore Wind Farm development in Europe has been mainly focussed on formerly glaciated margins in the North Sea, Baltic Sea, and Irish and Celtic Seas. Glaciated margins are highly complex geological settings linked to ice-sheet dynamics, resulting in spatially and temporally heterogenous glacial and interglacial sedimentary cycles affected by ice oscillations, sea level change and glacio-isostatic rebound. The resultant seabed and subsurface is therefore a challenging environment in which to design, engineer and operate renewable energy infrastructure at scale.

Critical raw materials from thermal fluids: origin, extraction, demonstration
11 June 2026 | 11:20 – 12:20 CEST
Where: Energy Transition Area
The extraction of lithium and other critical raw materials (CRMs), such as helium, strontium, or rare earth elements, from deep fluids is currently being investigated in many geothermal areas worldwide. The occurrence of CRMs and their extraction technologies are highly site-specific, and the economic feasibility of co-extracting heat and CRMs has so far been poorly demonstrated.

Session Organized By the EAGE Technical Community on Radioactive Waste Disposal
Stakeholders in Radioactive Waste Management
11 June 2026 | 12:45 – 13:30 CEST
Where: Energy Transition Area
On 8 June a workshop on “Radioactive Waste Management” will be held as part of EAGE Annual. This workshop can be regarded as the inaugural workshop for a new EAGE Technical Community “Radioactive Waste Disposal”. Together with its two precursors: a similar workshop at the EAGE Annual 2024 in Oslo and the joined EAGE/DGG “Radioactive Waste Storage” workshop at the annual conference of the German Geophysical Society (DGG) in Münster (Germany) this March, we welcome this new community.
At the Energy Transition Theatre we will present the outcomes of the Radioactive Waste Management workshop and will present the committee of the Radioactive Waste Technical Community plus the first activities of the Technical Community for the second half of 2026.
