USA, Washington DC: Briefing on Geothermal at the Capitol

Geothermal Energy: Heating Up

Wednesday, March 16,  2:00 - 3:30 PM, 212-10 Capitol Visitor Center (Senate-Side), East Capitol Street and 1st Street, NE, Washington DC

A live webcast will be streamed at 2:00 PM EDT at www.eesi.org/livecast (wireless connection permitting)

The Environmental and Energy Study Institute (EESI) and Geothermal Energy Association (GEA) invite you to a briefing highlighting the state of the geothermal energy industry and its near-term prospects in the United States and in more than 80 other countries working to expand its use. With demand for clean energy accelerating around the globe, geothermal energy has major potential as a renewable resource that can provide power around-the-clock, complementing intermittent renewable power technologies. The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) launched the Global Geothermal Alliance at COP-21 in Paris this past December to achieve a 500 percent increase in global installed capacity for geothermal power generation and a 200 percent increase in geothermal heating by 2030.
