4:30 PM – 6:30 PM | Session 4A: Panel - Co-Production of Geothermal Energy and Other Subsurface Resources
This panel assembles experts to discuss the integration of geothermal energy recovery into existing energy extraction or storage efforts, additional resources that may be recovered as part of geothermal developments, and new co-production concepts.
Participants have a range of expertise in petroleum systems, natural hydrogen, critical minerals in brines, and storage of CO 2 and energy fluids.
This panel represents a collaboration between Geothermal Rising and the American Association of Petroleum Geologists Energy Mineral Division Geothermal Resources Committee.
