Geothermal for Indigenous communities

A unique part of this year’s Geothermal Rising Conference was the Indigenous Geothermal Symposium where members of the Indigenous communities came together to explore the cultural, technological, and environmental aspects of geothermal energy. It was a platform for Indigenous voices to be heard, highlighting their important role in the development of geothermal resources in many territories worldwide.

It was also an opportunity for different Indigenous communities to come together and share their knowledge and experience on many aspects of geothermal development.

“It brought together Indigenous community members from around the globe to talk about geothermal, to talk about how their communities work with their governments to develop geothermal, and how it benefits Indigenous communities,” said Bryant Jones, Director of Geothermal Rising.

“They shared that knowledge with other communities that want to learn more about geothermal to see how they can develop it on their lands.”

Innovative technologies

The segment of ThinkGeoEnergy featured an innovative flowmeter technology developed by Indonesia’s PT Pertamina Geothermal Energy (PGEO). The flowmeter, called Flow2Max, allowed for real-time measurement of two-phase flow and enthalpy, allowing for closer monitoring of wells and an overall improvement in reservoir management practice.

PGEO officially launched the Flow2Max earlier this year, having successfully applied for patents for the technology in several territories, including the US, the Philippines, and New Zealand.

The Declaration of Communication

Gabriella Skog of Baseload Capital then showcases the launch of the Geothermal Declaration of Communication at the Geothermal Rising Conference. This is a whitepaper, endorsed by key industry stakeholders, that calls for a unified messaging for the global geothermal industry to improve public perception and external communication.

The Declaration of Communication can be accessed via this link. You may signify your support by signing the Declaration.
