The prestigious three day workshop opened this morning at the Frances C. Arrillaga Alumni Center on the Stanford University Campus.
After an introduction by host Roland Horne and chair Kewen Li, Jay Nathwani, filling in for Douglas Hollett, GTO program manager, gave a talk on the DoE Geothermal Technology Program Overview for 2014.
Next came an interesting presentation of the recent "JASON Review of Enhanced Geothermal Systems" (PDF) which concludes that near-term (perhaps 5-10 year) geothermal potential, including from sites developed through enhanced geothermal systems, can contribute an additional 5-10 GWe for the U.S., with a larger potential once this success is achieved.
Finally, a useful demonstration on "How to Use the National Geothermal Data System (NGDS) and NGDS Node Deployment" was made by David Cuyler, Arlene Anderson and Kim Patten. Agenda.....
