Multi-Criteria Geothermal Resource Assessment: From Play Analysis to Sustainability Evaluation

Masterclass

 

Join us for "Multi-Criteria Geothermal Resource Assessment: From Play Analysis to Sustainability Evaluation". A Masterclass presented by Dr. Luca Guglielmetti from the University of Geneva.

Geothermal resources can be identified in a large variety of geologic settings, they generate from different types of play and provide a broad spectrum of applications. Power generation covers a large portion of the geothermal market and is gradually transitioning from magmatic regions to sedimentary basins. Geothermal Heat and Cooling applications is rapidly expanding in many regions of the world (i.e. Europe), in particular in sedimentary basins where the majority of the global energy demand is concentrated. Therefore it becomes crucial, also for geoscientists, to combine subsurface characterization and resource assessment and energy system evaluation to identify the potential areas of interest and the uncertainties that will impact the decision making process for industrial geothermal projects.
