Pivot2020 – Building the future of geothermal – Panel Recordings
Pivot2020 a week-long virtual event of ten moderated roundtables (and in the end an additional panel) last week, featured thought leaders and change makers who are building the future of geothermal energy. Panelists included leaders from the oil and gas industry, geothermal industry, academia, governments, national labs, and start-up companies.
Hosted by the Geothermal Entrepreneurship Organization (GEO) at the University of Texas at Austin, and the International Geothermal Association (IGA), along with industry and organizational partners and friends, the event brought together people from the oil sector and geothermal globally.
?The conversations of all the panels ranged from technical elements, career, new technologies, entrepreneurship, the role the oil and gas sector can play in geothermal development, and what geothermal energy can play in the future of renewable energy.
Everyone that joined the conversations about the Future of Geothermal Energy was rather excited about the quality and diversity of the discussions.
