Ayush is entering his fourth year of petroleum engineering at the UofA. He is passionate about the development in the oil sands as well as the global affairs and growth in the renewable energy sector. Working for Adani gas in his last internship provided him with hands-on experience in natural gas pipeline operations. He is a member of the Office of the Registrar’s Student Advisory Committee and is also, involved with the UofA office of advancement, raising funds for the various university’s initiatives. Through the collaborated support from his peers at the Energy Club, he aims to underline the environmental, economical, technological and political aspects of one of the worlds leading industry.

Background:

We are in a pivotal era when the growing energy requirements of global society far exceed its capacity to generate power without negatively impacting the environment. The ecological and economic consequences of not addressing this trend in the present are not well understood nor appreciated while the growing consensus is that we can no longer afford to ignore the issue without further compounding the problem. As the citizens of developing nations come to expect increased standards of living, it is ever more crucial that solutions are found and implemented which are compatible with both economic and environmental systems.

The province of Alberta, Canada, is a major player in traditional (coal, natural gas, oil) and, through increasing investment, renewable energy supply (wind, solar, thermal, biomass). As a university, it is therefore incumbent upon us to provide strong (idea-based) visionary leadership that reflects the latest understanding of the ecological relationships between society and its environmental context.

Our Vision:
We envision a world where society's growing energy needs are adequately met while supporting our natural environment indefinitely into the future.

Our Mission:
The purpose of the University of Alberta Energy Club is to promote energy awareness in the University community and to explore solutions that meet society's energy requirements. These solutions include new economic, technological and sociological mechanisms that align global energy demand with our generation capability.

There is no membership fee to be a part of the Energy Club.
