GNS Workshop: From the Extreme Heat to the Little Bit Cool

Join GNS Science and partners for an engaging session exploring the full spectrum of geothermal energy in Aotearoa – from the cutting-edge superhot, supercritical drilling about to take place in the Taupō Volcanic Zone, to the growing use of low-temperature geothermal in Tauranga and across our horticultural sector.

Yes, it’s all geothermal – from the extreme heat, to the little bit cool  – but we’re only just starting to tap into what it can really offer.

It’s up to all of us to realise what geothermal can do, not just for our local communities, but globally too. With deep expertise across the geothermal spectrum and unique access to active volcanic systems, New Zealand is well-positioned to contribute knowledge and innovation to the global energy transition. Together, we can forge international partnerships, investment, and export opportunities that benefit us all, and help the world secure a sustainable reliable future.
