Geothermal Energy- from Potential to Implementation
11th July 2018 - 13th July 2018
GBP1950Geothermal Energy- from Potential to Implementation
Renewables are seen as the future source of energy to meet the world’s growing demand, with geothermal resources offering a constant and independent supply.
There is a growing need for interdisciplinary competence to untap the vast geothermal potential worldwide, with a high level of skills’ transferability across geo-resource sectors, including oil and gas.
- Appreciate the role of geothermal energy within the current and future energy mix.
- Understand the different geothermal settings and associated types of resources.
- Assess the recoverability of different types of geothermal resources.
- Outline the fundamental design and operational aspects of projects harnessing geothermal energy.
- Recognise geothermal project risk.
- Apply existing frameworks for classification and reporting of geothermal resources, from potential to reserves
