2025 Thermal Energy Networks Symposium

Description
Thermal Energy Networks (TENs) have quickly emerged as a leading solution ushering in a new frontier of cutting-edge applications. TENs are also known as Geothermal Energy Networks (GENs). Join us February 6-8, 2025 as we take a deep dive into the world of TENs and GENs!
Location
Cambridge, Massachusetts
Date
Symposium Overview - Why Thermal Energy Networks?

As states and municipalities nationwide are seeking energy solutions to reduce costs and increase reliability, while reducing and/or eliminating carbon emissions, Thermal Energy Networks (TENs) have quickly emerged as a leading solution to this energy conundrum. New York enacted the Thermal Energy Network and Jobs Act of 2022 which mandates utilities to implement Thermal Energy Networks.  Massachusetts enacted clean energy grid legislation in December 2024 that reforms the siting and permitting of clean energy facilities and reforms the gas distribution system to empower the gas to geo transition.

Participants in the 2025 Thermal Energy Networks Symposium will benefit from educational sessions and panels provided by leading industry experts focusing on the financing, design, implementation and installation of TENs systems.

Don’t miss this opportunity to learn about these cutting-edge solutions, collaborate with your peers and make new contacts to help you move forward with your TENs project!

2024 Subsurface Geothermal Symposium: New Technology Drilling and Subsurface Characterization

Description
July 31 - August 2, 2024
Location
Peppermill Resort, Reno, Nevada
Date
Symposium Overview

Join Geothermal Rising (GR) and the American Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG) at the 2024 Subsurface Geothermal Symposium: New Technology Drilling and Subsurface Characterization. This geothermal subsurface program will bring together communities and subject matter experts in all different types of geothermal reservoirs – conventional hydrothermal, EGS, closed loop, and sedimentary geothermal. Recognizing that each geothermal technology type is unique, but overlaps in learnings and best practices can be applied across technologies, and this program will do just that! We will explore challenges and opportunities with each reservoir type, exploration methodologies, reservoir modelling methodologies and technological advances, drilling & well design, reservoir characterization, reservoir management, and fracture networks. This workshop-style symposium will present compelling technical talks, panels, networking and ample time for group discussion allow for cross-specialty learning.
