10 GGA Event on geothermal energy for food security Florence Declaration (Sept 2017) reaffirmed the commitment to support all forms of geothermal energy, including power and direct uses GGA Event on Direct Utilisation of Geothermal Energy and Food Security (Iceland, April 2018) Objective: To identify the key factors behind successful experiences and present partnership opportunities for projects related to direct uses of geothermal energy, with a focus on food and agriculture. Source: IRENA

11 Opportunities emerged from GGA Event in April 2018 Improve energy efficiency and reduce primary energy consumption Improve business case of geothermal power projects Boost local economic development Increase food availability and quality Source: IRENA Reduce dependency on fossil fuels Wide availability of resources

12 Recommendations Developing adequate policy and regulatory frameworks to enable private investment Supporting feasibility studies and the improvement of data Promoting partnerships and planning for attracting industry nearby the resource Developing capacities in the downstream phase to ensure efficient operation Branding and promoting geothermal food to boost business opportunities Adequate reservoir management and environmental regulation to address the technical and sustainability challenges
