Global Geothermal Energy
To mitigate climate change and global warming, nations around the world are setting long-term goals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Achieving these targets will require a diverse mix of integrated and sustainable energy sources. Solar and wind power have become more commonplace in recent years, but they are not always reliable; when the sun isn’t shining and wind speeds drop, other energy sources are needed to compensate.
In contrast, geothermal solutions offer a sustainable alternative with 24/7 availability. For millennia, geothermal energy served as a local heat source. Today, we use it to generate electricity in regions with high heat flow near the Earth’s surface. But recent innovations have unlocked the geographical limitations of this renewable resource.
In this Energy Global article, Dr. Ellie MacInnes, our head of geothermal, UK, looks at how geoscience companies like CGG can leverage their technology, expertise and experience to enable economical, efficient access to geothermal energy around the world.
