Breaking Into Carbon Capture & Storage: Skills, Careers, and Market Shifts with Henry Morris | Energy Sector Heroes
Description
Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is set to play a major role in reducing industrial emissions but where do the skills come from to build it? In this episode, I talk with Henry Morris about how traditional oil and gas expertise is being repurposed to help the UK and Europe cut millions of tonnes of CO₂ each year.
Henry shares how his geoscience background led him from offshore exploration into developing new CO₂ storage projects using existing wells and depleted gas fields. We discuss why core engineering and subsurface skills remain essential, what smaller companies look for in graduates, and how to prepare for the market cycles that shape energy careers.
In this episode:
- How CCS works and why it’s needed
- Transferable skills from oil & gas to low-carbon roles
- Why clarity in communication matters as much as technical knowledge
- Navigating career uncertainty and energy market cycles
- Practical advice for graduates entering the sector
If you’re exploring opportunities in the energy transition or curious about where a geoscience or engineering degree can take you, this conversation will help you see the full landscape of what’s possible.
