The conference will begin with Guðmundur Ómar Fridleifsson, geologist and Project Manager at HS Orka of the Iceland Deep Drilling Project (IDDP). He will discuss the latest updates from the world’s hottest geothermal well and Iceland’s deepest borehole.
Throughout the day, the conference will examine how technologies and know-how from the oil and gas industries can be implemented to the extraction of geothermal energy. The most current results of national research and development projects will be presented.
May 23
Geothermal energy as a national resource for heating and cooling solutions is the topic of the first half of the second day. Several national projects including energy storage and the sizing of heating and cooling systems as well as opportunities for different players will be presented.
The conference will be concluded with a discussion on Norway’s role in research and development of technology solutions for the extraction of geothermal energy including: What role should national players take? What support can national entities provide to best help stakeholders realize opportunities?
Conference dinner held on the afternoon and evening on 22 May.
