The Geothermal Research Consortium in collaboration with the HotRock research consortium, will address the broadest range of research and engineering topics, from deep within the subsurface to the consumer. Such as subsurface geology and engineering, surface power generation, grids, economics, and policy direct heat applications for heating and cooling, agriculture, etc.

You are invited to our next Geothermal Rising PNW-RIG in-person event, “Next Generation Geothermal Power in the Pacific Northwest. We will meet at the Seattle Climate Hub in Seattle on Thursday July 17 from 3:30pm-5pm. This event is being held in conjunction with Seattle Climate Week. Trenton Cladouhos, PhD will give a talk on advances in geothermal technology and on the potential for geothermal power generation in the Pacific Northwest. Dr. Cladouhos is the Vice President of Geothermal Resource Development for Quaise Energy. He has extensive experience in the geothermal industry, having served at companies such as AltaRock and Cyrq before joining Quaise.

Venue: Seattle Climate Hub, 1215 Fourth Ave, 15th floor, Seattle WA 3:30-5:00pm
Networking starts at 3:30 and the keynote talk starting at 4pm.
There is no charge for the event, but we expect it to be sold out.

The Colorado GR RIG is excited to announce a visit to the US DOE-funded GLADE Project, arranged in coordination with Oxy. This rig site visit is scheduled for Thursday,26 June, starting at 1:00 pm in Platteville, Colorado. The visit will be about 1-hr and will be led by Oxy. Registration is limited to 20 attendees, so if you’re interested, sign up quickly! The GR RIG will send out details on the meeting location, agenda, and rig site visit requirements to the registration list before this event.

The Washington Geologic Information Portal has detailed data resources, freely available, that can inform technical and economic feasibility analyses of geothermal energy projects. Dr. Lee Florea, a program manager at the WA Dept of Natural Resources has kindly offered to provide us with an unofficial overview of the portal’s content. Jonathan Pezzino, principal & owner of SWS, contributes to NREL's open source geothermal techno-economic simulator GEOPHIRES. Jonathan will demonstrate example models constructed using GEOPHIRES with data downloaded from the WA Geologic Portal. His examples will include some of the more promising geothermal resources in the state. Join in discussion with other members of the Pacific Northwest RIG as we examine these tools for modeling the techno-economic feasibility of geothermal power plants.
