SDG Detail

How can we best use the earth�s geothermal energy sustainably for all of our futures?

Postgraduate program

Project description

Geothermal energy can provide a clean, cheap and reliable power supply�in many different countries around the world. In countries like Indonesia and�Kenya it has the potential to replace biomass and fossil fuel sources reducing�deforestation and mitigating climate change. In other countries electricity�generated using geothermal energy can be used to support intermittent renewable�energy sources such as wind and solar. The nature of geothermal energy means�that it cannot be transported so it creates jobs and infrastructure locally as�well as opportunities for a cascade of different industries around the resource. New Zealand is a world leader in geothermal energy technology and our team at�the Geothermal Institute are proud to be teaching the next generation of�geothermal energy experts. Through knowledge transfer and innovative research we can use geothermal energy to help achieve sustainable development for�everyone.
