Geothermal energy is entering a decade of unprecedented opportunity and urgency. Once a niche contributor to regional power grids and greenhouse heating networks, it is now emerging as a viable global player in the clean energy mix. From the western United States to Europe’s agricultural basins, from New Zealand’s geothermal fields to Asia’s Ring of Fire, new technologies, regulatory momentum, and a push for decarbonization are redefining what geothermal can achieve.
Held in the United States but designed with a global lens, this forum explores how geothermal energy, both for power generation and direct use, can scale safely, efficiently, and commercially over the next 5 to 10 years. Participants will examine cross-border innovations, international studies, and technology transfer opportunities critical for future growth.
With the U.S. Department of Energy projecting geothermal could supply over 8% of national electricity demand by 2050, and with similar ambitions emerging across Europe, Asia, Africa and Latin America, and direct-use geothermal poised to decarbonize a much larger share of global heating and cooling demand, this is a pivotal moment for the industry. From low-enthalpy geothermal systems beneath urban campuses to medium-depth heating networks and off-grid applications, geothermal’s versatility across temperature ranges and sectors is gaining recognition. The forum invites scientists, engineers, regulators, financiers, and developers from around the world to exchange knowledge, debate challenges, and chart a common forward-looking path.
Why Attend?
