Geothermal Event! Three Workshops Announced for GRC Annual Meeting & Expo

Workshops Announced for Geothermal Resources Council Annual Meeting (News Release)

Three workshops at the GRC Annual Meeting & Expo in Palm Springs, California, USA 


The Geothermal Resources Council (GRC) has announced more details of events at the world’s largest annual geothermal energy conference in Palm Springs, California, USA.

In addition to the main event of the GRC Annual Meeting & Expo taking place September 15-18, 2019, there will be two workshops before and a special presentation open to the general public during the conference.

On Friday and Saturday, September 13  and 14 a New Frontiers in EGS Technology workshop will consider how development of cost-effective Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) technology is critical to the long-term viability of the world-wide geothermal industry.

Another workshop on Supercritical and Superhot Geothermal Resources will present information on how such systems could yield an order of magnitude more power than that currently produced from typical hot geothermal wells.

A special Geothermal 101 presentation will be held on Wednesday, September 18 where the general public will be invited to learn about and view the practical applications of geothermal energy technology in a guided tour of the Expo hall.

More information on the workshops, including more detailed agendas and cost, can be found on the GRC Website at https://geothermal.org/Annual_Meeting/workshops.html.

The GRC Annual Meeting & Expo is the industry’s largest annual gathering of leading geothermal energy scientists, producers, renewable energy industry stakeholders, regulators, utilities, and key associated business leaders. The four-day event will offer technical, policy, and market conference sessions, educational seminars, tours of local geothermal and renewable energy projects, and numerous networking opportunities.

Registration to the GRC Annual Meeting & Expo will open soon. Room reservations can now be made on the GRC website at geothermal.org. A discounted room rate is available until August 21, so early reservations are recommended.
