June 20, 2022 by Andrew Seto, VP Technology, Energi Simulation   In order to meet energy demand while reducing carbon emissions, many countries have been transitioning their energy consumption from fossil fuels to renewal sources. Being abundant in nature, geothermal resource is an attractive and clean energy source to complement other forms of renewal energy. […]

June 06, 2022 by Andrew Seto, VP Technology, Energi Simulation   Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is a clean technology that is not only capable of decarbonizing major industries, but also an enabler for new energy economy of hydrogen production, bioenergy with CCS, direct air capture, carbon to value, and other CO2 re-use applications. The […]

March 16, 2022 I got an email from my supervisor Professor Sebastian Geiger telling me that he can support my PhD through the Energi Simulation Chair Programme for Fractured & Geothermal Reservoirs. Being overwhelmed by this wave of kindness, I start searching my English vocabulary list  I learnt through my long English-learning journey for the […]
