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.

Nearly 1,000 attendees came to the 2019 GRC Annual Meeting and Expo from just under 40 different countries, highlighting the GRC’s role in connecting the global geothermal energy community. With increasing interest in geothermal as a reliable source of renewable energy providing both flexible and baseload power production around the world, the GRC is looking ahead to an even stronger international attendance in 2020.

Reno's Peppermill Resort Spa and Casino has earned the Environmental Protection Agency's Energy Star certification for energy performance. A big part of that is due to the resort's onsite geothermal plant. It taps into the resources underneath the property.

"We take the geothermal out of the ground, we pump it to here we exchange the heat into a water source that we can circulate through the building," said John Kassai, Central Plant Manager for the Peppermill. "Then we take the geothermal, put it back in the ground across the property and we use the hot water and circulate it throughout the whole property."

They use it to heat the buildings, the pools, and the parking ramps in the winter. "As far as I know we're the largest single use geothermal provider in the nation," Kassai said. The Peppermill's energy score puts it in the top 10 percent of hotels in the country.

GRC ED Looks Forward to the Geothermal Energy Event of the Year!

The 2018 Annual Meeting Steams Ahead (and so does the 2019 one!)

by Will Pettitt, PhD, Executive Director, Geothermal Resources Council (GRC)

The 2018 GRC Annual Meeting & Expo in Reno is nearly upon us. Like its predecessors, it will be the largest annual gathering, and premier technical program, of the geothermal community in the world. I would first like to thank all the volunteers and staff that contribute to our conference. It takes a small army of people to organize the meeting and all the activities that are planned. Each of you know what you have contributed. I speak on behalf of the GRC and geothermal community to say that everything you do is really appreciated and we are all very grateful for your efforts. For all our volunteers, please know that the GRC could not function without you, and that the staff, management, and Board are grateful for every moment of time you donate.

USA: The Heritage, Diversity and Corresponding Strengths of the Geothermal Energy Industry in the U.S. - An Opinion

Geothermal Heritage III: USA (LinkedIn)

by William Harvey, P.E., Project Engineer at POWER Engineers

(Courtesy CIA.gov)

...We appreciate the tremendous innovations the USA has made in the geothermal sphere. There is probably a tendency for many cognizant Americans to stay quiet regarding achievements, since there are some prominent counter-examples and we would prefer not to be associated with our rude, boastful countrymen. But if modesty prohibits us from even remembering significant accomplishments, that's a fault too.

What exactly is the USA's heritage regarding geothermal energy?
