Geothermal Rising, the global nonprofit association for geothermal energy, is celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2022. Formed in 1972, Geothermal Rising is the largest geothermal professional and trade association on Earth, connecting the geothermal community and general public. In addition to serving its members, the organization continues to advance global awareness of geothermal energy’s potential to help fight climate change and bring environmental justice as part of its core message: Use the Earth to Save the Earth.

As Geothermal Rising celebrates its 50th Anniversary, geothermal energy is entering a golden age where scalable and economic deployment of technologies will enable firm clean energy supplies that truly help society decarbonize and mitigate climate change.
