Mission and Prospects IEA Geothermal will focus on key areas: Collaborate, creating networks across nations, organisations and enterprises in the geothermal sector. Seek increased participation in IEA Geothermal especially by Asian, African and Latin American countries. Organise and participate in joint workshops with organisations to raise awareness, show benefits and promote the uptake of geothermal energy technology. Establish IEA Geothermal as the place to go for the most reliable, up to date geothermal statistics. Prepare policy relevant material for nations seeking to accelerate the uptake of geothermal energy technology. Enhance expertise available to IEA Geothermal Support the work of IEA and member countries Pursue Membership Growth Dr. Lothar Wissing, 71th REWP, Paris, 30th March 2017 6
Working Group Structure 1) Environmental Impacts of Geothermal Development OA: GNS, New Zealand 8) Direct Use of Geothermal Energy OA: Geo-Future GmbH, Switzerland 10) Geothermal Data and Information OA: Leibniz Institute for Applied Geophysics, Germany 12) Deep Roots of Volcanic Geothermal Systems OA: Orkustofnun (The National Energy Authority of Iceland) 13) Emerging Technologies OA: Leibniz Institute for Applied Geophysics, Germany OA: Operating Agent/ Group leader 7
Working Groups WP 1: Environmental Impacts of Geothermal Energy Development (1997) OA: Chris Bromley, GNS, New Zealand Participants: Australia, Iceland, Italy, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, Norway, Switzerland, United States The goals of Working Group 1 is to encourage the sustainable development of geothermal energy resources in an economic and environmentally responsible manner; to quantify and balance any adverse and beneficial impacts that geothermal energy development may have on the environment, and to identify ways of avoiding, remedying or mitigating adverse effects. Task A: Impacts on Natural Features Task B: Discharge and Reinjection Problems Task C: Methods of Impact Mitigation and Environmental Procedures Task E: Sustainable Utilization Strategies 8
Working Groups WP 8: Direct Use of Geothermal Energy (2003) OA: Dr. Katharina Link, Geo-Future GmbH, Switzerland Participants: France, GEOPLAT, Iceland, Japan, New Zealand, Norway, R.of Korea, Switzerland, United Kingdom, United States The goal of Working Group 8 is to provide unbiased active and passive information, communication and knowledge transfer to mitigate the barriers and to enhance deployment of the direct use of geothermal energy. Task A: New and Innovative Geothermal Direct Use Applications Task C: Guidelines for Geothermal Energy Statistics Task D: Statistics for Geothermal Heat Pump Applications Task E: Design Configuration and Engineering Standards 9
Working Groups WP 10: Data Collection and Information (2009) OA: Dr. Josef Weber, Leibniz Institute for Applied Geophysics, Germany Participants: Mandatory participation of all GIA Country Members The main objective of Network Group 10 is to collect essential data on geothermal energy uses, trends and developments in GIA Member Countries and to publish these data in annual reports available on the GIA website or as hardcopy for wide public distribution. Annex 10 prepares the annual Trend Report which provides detailed geothermal utilization and development data and other information for IEA-GIA Member countries. ExCo-Member are providing the country data once a year 10
Working Groups WP 12: Deep Roots of Volcanic Geothermal Systems (2014) OA: Guðni Axelsson, Iceland GeoSurvey (ISOR), Iceland Participants: Iceland, New Zealand, Switzerland The goal of Working Group 12 is to improve understanding of the deep roots of volcanic geothermal systems with possible future utilization in mind. This includes advancing knowledge on the nature and characteristics of heat sources and heat transfer processes in the roots of volcanic geothermal systems through dissemination of information and research methods, and improving methods for exploration and modelling of the roots by facilitating cooperation and information sharing between scientists involved in such research. Task A: Compilation of Conceptual Models of the Roots of Volcanic Geothermal Systems and Associated Research Methods Task B: Advancement of Methods for Deep Geothermal Exploration Task C: Methods for Modelling Conditions and Processes in Deep Geothermal Resources 11
Working Groups WP 13: Emerging Geothermal Technologies (2015) OA: Leibniz Institute for Applied Geophysics, Germany ETH Zürich, Switzerland Participants: Germany, Japan, New Zealand, Norway, R. of Korea, Switzerland This is an area of broad work activity spanning the geothermal energy sector. There are six task streams as part of the Emerging Geothermal Technologies work. All the work streams are in the early establishment phase. Task A: Exploration, Measurements and Logging Task B: Drilling Technologies Task C: Reservoir creation and enhancement Task D: Induced seismicity Task E: Surface Technology (Corrosion, Scaling) Task F: Geothermal reservoir management 12
