Heating and cooling as an industry is one of the main offenders when it comes to emissions and accounts for a large pull on the energy sector as well. So, how do you solve the problem of decreasing energy demand while increasing resiliency and sustainability? Geothermal. The Earth has a stable temperature of around 55-70 degrees F depending on depth everywhere in the world and it can be tapped to be utilized for heating and cooling, both residential and commercial. I sit down with Ammar Alali, the CEO of Strataphy to talk about the huge opportunity that sits in front of the geothermal industry and how he and his team are looking to capitalize.

Innovation is at the heart of the energy industry and with geothermal it is no different. Sigurdur Markusson has been involved in a variety of projects that have dealt with harvesting geothermal energy and using it to sustainably produce food and now takes over the role of managing director at GEORG. It is time for collaboration, innovation, and awareness to accelerate for the geothermal industry.

The Earth's heat produced from radioactive decay in the core has many benefits once recovered and brought to the surface. Most focus is placed on its ability to provide baseload power, which is important, but arguably the most widespread use case being heating and cooling gets overlooked. Geothermal is ubiquitous throughout the planet, however, it does vary by location the feasibility of extracting the resource, but harvesting low temperature resources can be done most anywhere. Once harvested, the use cases are seemingly endless, heat and cool your home, office building, school, grow vegetables, process dairy, aquaculture, and so much more. I had the chance to sit down with Celia Wells who is the Strategic Developments Manager at GeoExchange NZ and talk about their goals, the size of the prize and what challenges lie ahead.

Large scale energy infrastructure projects require significant up-front investment and usually carry a considerable amount of risk. How the projects are financed plays a key role in the success of the project and future scalability. Geothermal is no different than the Oil and Gas industry, solar, wind, hydrogen you name it - a lot of money will be needed but will need to be efficiently and effectively deployed to achieve the desired outcome for all stakeholders. I sit down with Amanda Lonsdale at Magnitude Global Finance to talk about the nuances in financing large scale projects, available instruments to mitigate risk, and hurdles still to overcome.

Australia is no stranger to natural resources; they are a powerhouse in the mining and petroleum industry and now are a burgeoning developer in the renewable energy space. With energy security and sustainability top of mind for many in today's world, Australia is tackling this by exploring all potential solutions. One, however, may just hold the golden ticket for them once again to become a powerhouse - geothermal. Come, listen into my conversation with Adam Stepanoff of Whitebark Energy Ltd., a leader in the space, with some of the first and largest permitted areas for geothermal exploration and development to learn about some of the hurdles and opportunities the country faces.

When designing and developing a project, it is important to consider the full generation life cycle in order to incorporate efficiencies, cost savings, safety measures, inclusivity, and so much more. In the case of geothermal, it allows for innovative thinking around how to incorporate a mindset of circular economy benefits and engaging with the local community to ensure mutual benefit. I had the pleasure of sitting down with Greg Thompson, the acting CEO at the time of the interview at MB Century and the Director of International BD, Robert Mandjes to discuss the rich history of MB Century and how they are innovating and continuing to lead in the design and development of various energy projects across New Zealand.

Often times in the midst of forging a new path, discovering a new breakthrough technology, or simply applying a new technique or theory it is hard to think about what the future might hold. In this case, Devon Energy was pioneering the deployment of fiberoptic cables permanently downhole to help analyze many facets of their operations and now in the heat of the energy transition, they have teamed up with a leading geothermal energy developer, Fervo Energy to yet again forge a new path. Come join the riveting coversation with Kyle Haustveit, Manager of Devon Energy Ventures as we discuss how the past is helping lead the way for the future and how Devon is playing a role.

There will always be the doubters who say that something is impossible and will never be achieved or realized. To people like Steve and John of Hephae Energy, it is music to their ears, a challenge accepted to go beyond where anyone has before. That is what they are doing for the geothermal industry in developing rotary steerable and MWD tools that can operate precisely downhole at temperatures well above 175 degrees C.

Cross pollination within the energy sector is a must in order to achieve the global targets we have set out for ourselves. As energy demand rises rapidly, the need to decarbonize increases in importance, I believe the energy sector will actually shrink. Not in production or employees, but in how many once siloed companies and industries cross over into new territory.
Join me as I talk with the one, the only Patrick Hanson, Senior Geothermal Development Manager with Expro about this very thing and how he is excited to be part of this future energy ecosystem.

Scaling up many of the low carbon solutions that will help to decarbonize our world need extensive investment along with support in the form of access to market. Who better than incumbent energy companies to do this? They have balance sheets, established supply chains across the entire value chain of energy, social reputations and beyond. Ecopetrol is leading the way and setting a great example. They were the first energy company to announce roadmap to lower carbon intensity and emissions by 2040. Join in on my conversation with the Vice President of Low Carbon Solutions, Yeimy Baez and learn a little more on what exactly that roadmap entails.

Ensuring access to food, water, and energy are some of the key objectives for the next couple decades, but doing so in a sustainable way is equally important. Geothermal can not only help address the access to energy for developing countries, but it also can play a significant role in eliminating food deserts, producing sustainable food even in climates that previously prohibited it. I sit down with Arni Pall Einarsson, Chief Commercial Officer at Matorka to talk about the fish farming industry and how they are pioneering with sustainable arctic char production utilizing geothermal.

Not that long ago Iceland was considered a developing country. Fast forward to today and it is now one of the welathiest nations on a per capita basis. One major driver of that has been their innovation around the natural resources and energy they have right under their feet; geothermal. Landsvirkjun has been developing and innovating around geothermal and the many use cases for the past 60 years. My conversation with Bjarni Palsson, Executive Director of Geothermal Development dives into how Iceland continues to innovate and share the knowledge globally to help advance the industry.

How do we achieve the lofty goals set forth to reduce our global emissions and keep global warming at bay? It definitely won't happen in silos, it will take a cooperative effort, building on the backs of those gone before us, of course new innovations, new technology and a bunch of capital. The beautiful thing is that countries like Iceland who have been innovating around energy usage, efficiencies, security of said energy and general sustainability can offer so much to the rest of the world as we work towards decarbonizing the planet. I sit down with Nott Thorberg, the Director of Green by Iceland whose entire purpose is to connect, educate, and export knowledge from Iceland around the world to accelerate our transition.

Some of us dive deep into political issues and policy while others of us steer clear of all things related to politics. Well, when it come to reaching net zero by 2050 goals, we all need to be active in our governments from state/local level all the way to country leadership. Policy will shape how we arrive or don't arrive at net zero. Today's episode focuses of course on policy from a geothermal perspective, how we have made progress, but also how we still have a long way to go and what needs to be done moving forward across the globe to make way for the geothermal renaissance.
