The IGA has recognised that developing high-quality online learning and industry-focused training will be essential to advancing the industry. RPS has been providing training to the energy sector for over 20 years and has deep expertise in subsurface geoscience and engineering, understanding energy project investments and risks, and environmental, social & governance (ESG).            

Initially, RPS and the IGA will focus on developing three areas of learning modules. The first will be designed for professionals interested in transitioning from oil and gas or mining to geothermal. The second is for finance executives and investors and is focused on de-risking subsurface risks underpinning geothermal project investments. Finally, the third module will be developed for mid and senior executives in oil and gas companies, covering geothermal solutions tailored around scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions.    

RPS is active in developing training for the renewables industry, Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage (CCUS) and ESG for the energy sector. Currently in development are a suite of learning modules for the UK Offshore Wind Industry Council (OWIC).
