Stanford Geothermal Workshop

Description
FEBRUARY 9-11, 2026.
Location
STANFORD UNIVERSITY
Date

The goals of the conference are to bring together engineers, scientists and managers involved in geothermal reservoir studies and developments; provide a forum for the exchange of ideas on the exploration, development and use of geothermal resources; and to enable prompt and open reporting of progress. We strongly encourage all scientists and engineers involved in geothermal reservoir technology to attend the workshop.

Papers will be presented on recent research relating to geothermal reservoirs including:

  • Case Studies: reservoir response to production, effects of injection, scaling characteristics
  • Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS): current and future activities
  • Engineering Techniques: reservoir simulation, empirical methods, well tests, tracers
  • Field Management: strategies for exploitation, injection, scale inhibition
  • Exploration: geophysics, geochemistry, geology, heat flow studies, outflows
  • Drilling and Well Bore Flows: well stimulation, bore flow modeling, hydro-fracturing, scaling
  • Low Enthalpy Systems: applications of heat pumps, hot dry rock technology
  • Geosciences: application of geophysics, geochemistry, thermodynamics and fluid mechanics.

Save-the-date: October 27 - 30, 2030
Location
Gaylord National Harbor, Maryland
Date

Geothermal Rising is pleased to announce the dates and location for the 2030 Geothermal Rising Conference: Sunday, October 27 - Wednesday, October 30 at the Gaylord National Harbor, Maryland. 

Did you know that Smithsonian’s National Zoo in Washington, DC, utilizes Geothermal energy? The Elephant Trails Exhibit currently uses 40 geothermal wells for heating and cooling. The Washington, DC metro area is experiencing a renaissance of low-temperature geothermal projects stimulated by both federal and local tax incentives as well as localities and organizations’ commitment to reliable, sustainable energy solutions.

Nestled just outside Washington, DC, National Harbor is a vibrant waterfront district featuring restaurants, boutique shopping, entertainment venues and plenty of opportunities for fun excursions.  

Save-the-date to join us at the Gaylord National Harbor in 2030! The hotel room block will open, along with registration, in Spring of 2030.

praxisforum Geothermie Bayern

Description
October 22-24, 2025
Location
Pullach, Germany
Date
Topics

It is becoming increasingly clear how necessary it is to make rapid and ambitious progress in the area of climate protection. Deep geothermal energy can make an important contribution to electricity generation, but especially to heat supply. The German government has now also recognized this, but there are still challenges - both technical and in terms of licensing law. But these too can be successfully mastered.

The Geothermie.Bayern practical forum will show possible solutions. Experts from science, business, politics and practice will discuss how geothermal projects can be optimally implemented. Numerous electricity and heat projects, many of them in the geothermal hotspot of Bavaria, present what sustainable energy generation looks like. Currently, there are also many new projects in development in Bavaria, which we would like to present at this year's practical forum.

The popular industry event and networking meeting will take place again from 22 to 24 October 2025 at the Bürgerhaus Pullach near Munich. The congress day on 23 October 2025 will be simultaneously translated.
