National Geothermal Student Competition Finalists Announced

The U.S. Department of Energy Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy has announced the three finalists in the prestigious National Geothermal Student Competition.
  • Idaho State University
  • Southern Methodist University
  • Boise State University
This student competition challenges teams at universities across the country to conduct cutting-edge research in geology, geoscience, chemical and bio-molecular energy, and engineering that could lead to breakthroughs in geothermal energy development.

The students from the three universities will present their projects at the 36th Geothermal Resources Council (GRC) Annual  Meeting in Reno, Nevada from September 30-October 3. Oral presentations will be made as part of the extensive Technical Session program and project posters will be on view in the Poster Session.

The GRC congratulates the students on their achievements and look forward to hosting them at the world's largest annual gathering of the geothermal community next week.
