On May 27th, 2025 Colorado Governor Jared Polis signed the Geologic Storage Enterprise & Geothermal Resources bill, and on August 6th it will effectively become state law. This new law aims to support geothermal development and geologic carbon storage in Colorado, and Geothermal Rising is hosting an online Forum-Webinar to present the finer details of the new law, and give stakeholders an opportunity to ask questions to the Colorado Department of Natural Resources offices impacted by this new law.

Agenda:

• 10:00-10:05, Introductions from Geothermal Rising and Hot Springs Association
• 10:05-10:25, Kevin Donegan, CO Department of Water Resources (DWR), presenting on the new DWR online portal tool, and resources publicly available.
• 10:25-10:35, Mike Rigby, CO Energy and Carbon Management Commission (ECMC), presenting on how the new law will impact geothermal exploration.
• 10:35-11:30, Open forum for audience questions

This is a free event and open to the public.

• Date: August 6th
• Time: 10 am MT

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.

Geothermal Rising is pleased to announce the dates and location for the 2029 Geothermal Rising Conference: Sunday, November 4 - Wednesday, November 7 at the Peppermill Resort in Reno, Nevada.

Nevada can be described as the heart of geothermal in the United States. Featuring more than 25 plants, Nevada's electrical generation capacity from its geothermal plants is second only to California. Save-the-date now to be part of the movement at what is sure to be the largest GRC to-date in the center of the geothermal community!

Did you know that the Peppermill Resort utilizes geothermal energy? Located at the north end of the Moana Hot Springs thermal anomaly, the Peppermill’s pools, hot tubs, domestic water for showers and mechanical systems, generate all of their heating energy from their geothermal operation 24 hours a day seven days a week. In addition to pumping the naturally heated water from the ground, the resort has also installed a reinjection well that returns the geothermal fluids back underground, to be reheated by the heat beneath our feet.

The hotel room block will open, along with registration, in Spring of 2029.
