Critical Minerals: This session will examine mineral resource potential and the extraction and processing of minerals, such as lithium, from geothermal areas. The session will feature research and case studies focused on process challenges, extraction methods, characterization of critical minerals in geothermal brines, improved processes, and environmental aspects of extraction procedures. Geochemistry: Geochemical characterization of geothermal systems is critical for defining reservoir characteristics, estimating resource temperatures, designing facilities, and monitoring assets. This topic covers all geochemistry submissions including exploration, monitoring existing fields, scale issues and solutions, etc.
