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 inaugural 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.

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

Course Description

This 3-day course will deliver a comprehensive look at geothermal energy, covering basic technical concepts through to commercial and financial considerations. Geothermal energy is defined as “earth heat” and offers a continuous, always on, source of heat and power that is renewable and potentially carbon negative. With current advances in technology, Canada has a vast, untapped, potential for geothermal heat and power.

This course will explore the potential geothermal energy in Canada:

• Where does geothermal potential exist
• How to find geothermal energy
• How to extract geothermal energy
• What it can geothermal energy be used for
• How to develop geothermal energy commercially
• Risks associated with geothermal development
• Current challenges to geothermal development in Canada

Geothermal Essentials will cover all aspects of geothermal development from greenfield exploration to plant operations and financing. The course instructors include long time geothermal specialists Dick Benoit and Catherine Hickson as well as oil & gas trained Emily Smejkal who is making the transition from oil and gas to geothermal. It is planned to be an introduction to the fundamentals of geothermal energy extraction with special emphasis on sedimentary basins. The wealth of experience of Benoit and Hickson will facilitate a fast and in-depth review over the course of the workshop with enough latitude to delve more deeply into various aspects depending on the interests of the attendees. Significant back up material will be provided for those who wish to dig deeper into specific aspects of geothermal development.

WGC 2020+1 is a brand-new format for the World Geothermal Congress. We have been working hard these past months adapting to the new situation in the world, while still developing an event that fulfils the expectations of the industry.

The outcome is WGC 2020+1, a series of thematic virtual events, starting on 30 March 2021 and continuing into the Fall – Culminating in a final highlight event on-site in Reykjavik, Iceland from 24-27 October 2021. The highlight event will feature all the extra elements our community has come to expect from WGC, such as shorter and longer field trips, short courses, non-technical events, cultural events and of course a first-class exhibition in the magnificent Harpa Conference Centre in downtown Reykjavik. The final highlight will be streamed, giving people around the world that cannot still travel a chance to join in the action.
