“When we think about sustainable living, it's not just about electricity. Energy encompasses more than electricity. As we advocate for sustainability and net zero, let's not forget the heating and cooling of our homes, businesses, and industries - geothermal is a direct resource for that.”

Dr. Marit Brommer on Electric Ladies Podcast

Drilling for geothermal energy - the heat beneath our feet - promises to be one of the most sustainable sources of energy and a game changer for the clean energy transition. One of the biggest opportunities lies right here in the U.S., where we have the largest installed capacity for geothermal electricity generation. Reflecting the tremendous potential of this energy source, $31 million in funding was announced for geothermal energy projects in late-2024, subject to evolving federal funding guidelines. 

Listen to Dr. Marit Brommer, CEO of the International Geothermal Association (IGA) and a geologist and expert in geothermal energy. Prior to joining the IGA, she was an exploration and production technologist at Shell and Total Energy.  

You’ll hear about:

  • What geothermal energy is, its applications, and its potential to be a significant player in the transition to a net-zero emissions economy. 
  • Role of the International Geothermal Association in guiding the proper management of geothermal energy projects. 

  • Effective policies to support geothermal development are essential to overcome the initial financial and technical risks.
