+===== Biostratigraphy; the Energy Transition and Other Applications =====
+The use of biostratigraphy in situations connected with the Energy Transition (or for other non-hydrocarbon applications) are, unsurprisingly, still in the early days and published examples are rare. However, it is important to realise one fundamental point…
+//**The principles of correlation, environmental determination and sequence prediction enabled by biostratigraphy and learned over a century of work in the hydrocarbon industry are equally and necessarily applicable in the Energy Transition.**//
+  * This means that screening basins for aquifers for CCUS (Carbon Capture, Utilisation & Storage) purposes relies as much on biostratigraphy for correlation, paleoenvironmental determination and sequence prediction as it did when screening for source, reservoir and seal rocks.
+  * This means drilling a borehole for CCUS, or perhaps even geothermal purposes, requires the same wellsite engineering/safety/geological control/biosteering functions as drilling a wildcat or general hydrocarbon production well.
+  * This means siting an offshore multi- wind turbine farm requires the mapping of recent and ancient environmental units to avoid unsuitable foundation strata in the same way that GDE maps help to establish play-fairways.
