Breaking New Ground: Geothermal in 2024

Peter Massie, CI-GEO Director

A geothermal breakthrough is taking place in 2024.

Until recently, geothermal power’s potential for growth was limited, because the technology needed just the right conditions. Whether enough heat could be found at accessible depths was hard to determine at the surface, so projects were subject to the same kind of hit-and-miss exploration risk as oil and gas. Development focused on well-defined resources. Geothermal remained a niche source of energy.

But technology breakthroughs have unlocked geothermal potential well beyond these limits.

These breakthroughs have given geothermal a completely new value proposition.
