Developing and presenting a research-based energy solution to an international government regulator is quite the resume builder. 🇧🇷

As the culmination of a semester-long research project, TCU Ralph Lowe Energy Institute students traveled to Brazil to present a strategic carbon capture and hydrogen energy roadmap directly to Brazil's oil and gas regulator—ANP.

While abroad in the energy capital of Rio de Janeiro, the team engaged with global energy leaders including Petrobras, TotalEnergies and Stratum Reservoir.

They stepped into exclusive research environments to explore local geology, complex regulatory networks, reservoir technology and the future of international energy innovation.

This immersive experience allowed TCU Neeley students to deliver real-world global consulting impact while experiencing the vibrant culture of Rio firsthand.

Reflecting on the experience, Nikki Morris, executive director of the TCU Ralph Lowe Energy Institute, said, "Experiences like this reinforce the importance of industry, academia and government working together to develop the next generation of energy leaders and practical solutions for the future of global energy."

Kudos to this incredible student team on a phenomenal, high-impact global experience! 💼✨

Brian Shresta ’26 credits the Neeley Ready event for opening the door to the TCU Neeley Professional Development Center and the world of networking.

These initial connections led him to his mentor, Noe Guevara, through the JPMorgan Chase Inclusive Excellence Mentoring Program and sparked relationships with a wide range of faculty across the college.
