Geoheat for Gas Users

Geothermal as an option for industrial and commercial gas users, hosted by EECA

Warm geothermal groundwater resources are distributed throughout Aotearoa New Zealand, encompassing areas from the central North Island and the Alpine Fault in the South Island to numerous hot spring locations nationwide, with accessible resources at depths of approximately 1 km across the country. Leveraging these resources is central to advancing geoheat opportunities and supporting New Zealand’s transition towards renewable energy solutions.

This workshop aligns with the New Zealand Geothermal Strategy’s “From the Ground Up” Action Plan, specifically targeting the goal to advance knowledge and uptake of existing geothermal technologies and geoheat applications.

Hosted by EECA with support from industry experts, this workshop explores the opportunities available for industrial and commercial energy users to utilise geoheat. With ongoing challenges in gas and other fossil fuels, there is urgency to transition to alternative fuels. This workshop will provide practical,…
