Low-temperature geothermal could be just what the industry needs to make a leap forward, but it needs research and technology support to get there.
The geothermal industry recognizes the need for innovation. Halley Dickey of TAS Energy, Karl Gawell of the GEA, and Doug Glaspey of U.S. Geothermal Inc. expressed the crucial importance of research and development in the geothermal industry during a conference call last month.
