The first UK Geothermal Symposium under the title "Engineered Geothermal System Energy - in the UK and a Global Perspective" is taking place in London/ UK, September 27, 2011.

In an announcement UK based EGS Energy is inviting to the first UK Geothermal Symposium: “Engineered Geothermal System Energy – in the UK and a Global Perspective”

Why is geothermal energy important to the UK?

  • It is a source of both heat and power…..
  • It could provide at least 10% of UK electricity demand (Source: DECC).
  • It is emissions free and available 24×7 all year round.

So, geothermal energy should play a major role in meeting the UK’s climate change and renewable energy targets, but……

Government support is needed to ramp up to assist in the exploitation of the opportunity to get the initial projects into the ground – through ROCs and RHI and a commitment to geothermal licensing.

Why should you attend?

  • The world’s top geothermal industry experts are presenting on a single afternoon.
  • You will hear UK industry representatives’ feedback on current reviews and projects, including EGS Energy’s geothermal plant at The Eden Project.

Where is it taking place?

The Institute of Directors, 116 Pall Mall, London SW1, on Tuesday 27 September 2011, 3.00pm -7.45pm followed by Networking, Drinks and Canapés
