A workshop in Rotorua, on the north island of New Zealand next month aims to help landowners and businesses better profit from our region's geothermal energy.

Using geothermal energy provides businesses with an economical heating option that is clean, abundant and readily available.

Potential end-uses include space heating, industrial processing, horticulture, aquaculture, motel and accommodation providers, timber drying and spas.

To get more firms using such energy, landowners and businesses need to understand how to access and utilize the potential under their properties.

To help with this, a workshop on geothermal direct heat for commercial applications will be held in Rotorua on February 18-19. The workshop is part of the Bay of Connections Energy Strategy project in association with Grow Rotorua, Kawerau Industrial Symbiosis and Enterprise Great Lake Taupo.
