*** REGISTER ONLINE ***

The aim of the DRG project was to understand the relationship of water and magma in the roots of volcanoes and how heat is transferred into geothermal systems to maintain their energy. Furthermore, the design of wells and wellheads for high temperatures focused during the project, as methods for utilizing superheated steam from greater depths.

The goal of the Final Meeting is to showcase and summaries the achievements of Deep Roots of Geothermal projects and to explore further road taken by participants within the roots of geothermal systems and current opportunities that lie in exploration, modelling and utilization of energy.

Workshop on Geothermal Direct Application

The general objective of the workshop is to encourage Mexican companies to use low-temperature geothermal resources in their industrial processes instead of conventional technologies. The workshop will emphasize the strategic role of public policies and regulation in the development of direct applications, success stories and the main applications will be presented highlighting the economic and environmental benefits. The workshop will also state the importance of social acceptance in geothermal projects and the benefits they can bring to communities.

This event is expected to initiate the first private projects of direct applications of geothermal in Mexico.

Multi-Cluster Collaboration Iceland Geothermal and CeMIEGeo began work on the workshop for direct applications in May 2017 and with the drive and vision of SENER the workshop has been made a side event for DEMEX, Mexico’s leading platform for discussion renewable energy solutions. The aim of the two cluster is to raise awareness of the positive effects gained by diverse use of geothermal energy. France Geothermal Cluster Participation An important step was taken when GeoDeep the France Geothermal Cluster was invited to take part in the workshop. The members of the three clusters are work closely together in connection to geothermal energy in Mexico. Iceland Geothermal hopes that this event and the meetings around the event will bring members of these three clusters even closer and lead to more collaboration. During the workshops speaker from the development companies CFE, Group Dragon, Storengy and Reykjavik Geothermal will be addressing the workshop on direct utilization. Hopefully, some of our Central America followers will be able to attend the event.

Event postponed!  

Meeting postponed to autumn 2017. Unfortunately, due to unexpected circumstances, we have to cancel the upcoming event with GA Drilling. New meeting date will be sent in September 2017.
