What is the Global Energy Challenge?
We are a group of highly motivated students committed to solving the global energy challenge through education and analysis.
Our world is heavily dependent on energy where we could not function as a society without it.
We strive to resolve how consistent and reliable power can be delivered globally while developing and implementing it sustainably amid our ever-growing existential climate emergency. All while concurrently adapting to the geological and geopolitical barriers that exist among us.
Join our mission in transforming the energy world of tomorrow.

Our amazing team!
