Did you know that not only is Nevada one of the highest producers of geothermal energy, it also holds the greatest amount of unused geothermal energy?

To learn more, join us for the first Nevada Geothermal Town Hall, hosted by the Great Basin Center for Geothermal Energy and the College of Science at the University of Nevada, Reno.

Participants will have the opportunity to gain insights into the fundamentals of geothermal energy, discover the impact of geothermal initiatives in Nevada, and explore the contributions of the University in advancing sustainable energy solutions. Our panel of experts will share their knowledge and expertise, addressing any questions or concerns you may have regarding geothermal energy.

Panelists Include:

• Kerry Rohrmeier - Government Affairs Manager at Ormat Technologies
• Aubry DrReuil - Head of Geoscience at Zanskar Geothermal & Minerals, Inc.
• Emma McConville - Senior Manager of Geoscience at Fervo Energy
• Kevin Holmes - Research and Engineering at BiaTech Corporation
• Tai Subia - Geothermal Program Lead with the Bureau of Land Managment

After the discussion, you are invited to join us for a reception sponsored by Ormat Technologies and the Nevada Regional Interest Group (RIG) of Geothermal Rising.

Geothermal energy is heating up in Texas!

Sage Geosystems recently announced it will be building a first of its kind 3MW commercial facility, called EarthStore™, in Texas using their innovative technology that harvests energy from pressurized water stored deep underground. Thanks to the work of the Texas Geothermal Energy Alliance and the leadership of legislators like Senator Brian Birdwell, several key bills supporting the expansion of geothermal energy passed last session.

As part of UT Energy Week, this Energy Innovation Forum brings together leading experts to discuss the latest geothermal technology breakthroughs, the status of implementing geothermal related legislation from last session and what more the legislature can do to support this rapidly growing industry.

Join us on Tuesday, March 26th from 4:00 - 5:30pm at the Capitol to hear from this incredible line up of speakers:

• Texas State Senator Brian Birdwell, District 22
• Cindy D. Taff, CEO, Sage Geosystems
• Dr. Ken Wisian, Associate Director, Bureau of Economic Geology, UT Austin
• Jennifer Bremer, Executive Director, TX Land & Mineral Owner Association
• Jason Sorter, Community Engagement and Policy Director, Geothermal Rising
• Matt Welch, Executive Vice President, TX Geothermal Energy Alliance (moderator)

After an overview presentation by Dr. Ken Wisian, Matt Welch will moderate our panel discussion with Sen. Brian Birdwell, Cindy D. Taff, Jennifer Bremer, Dr. Ken Wisian and Jason Sorter. An audience Q&A will be followed by a networking reception with food and drinks in the Members Lounge.

Tickets are free, but your generous donations help us continue being able to provide these free educational events.

Join Geothermal Rising and your geothermal community colleagues, June 4-5, 2024, in Washington, DC, at the second annual Geothermal Capitol Hill Day.

This is the geothermal community’s opportunity to educate, inform, and share our story with policymakers, agency staff, think tanks, regulators, Hill staff, researchers, and clean energy and environmental NGOs working on policy in Washington, DC. The two day event has two purposes: 1) raise the profile of all geothermal technologies and applications to DC audiences and 2) share policy solutions that will empower the geothermal industry as our industry seeks to play an impactful role in the clean energy transition and decarbonizing the economy.

Join us in Washington to share and amplify the geothermal story and promote our ultimate goal of “Using the Earth to Save the Earth."
