  • Supercritical technologies that increase New Zealand’s renewable electricity supply and create new industry

  • CO2 emission reduction and utilisation

  • Improved Health & Safety standards

Launch of key geothermal publications

The key highlight of the 2025 New Zealand Geothermal Week is the official launch of the New Zealand Geothermal Strategy by the Government.  This significant milestone outlines the Government’s commitment and identifies key focus areas where collaboration between government and industry will drive the future of geothermal development in Aotearoa New Zealand.

In addition, the event will feature the launch the New Zealand Geothermal Companies Directory and the New Zealand Geoheat Business Guide.  Developed through a strong partnership between government agencies and the New Zealand Geothermal Association, these important publications showcase the depth of industry capability and highlight the vital role of geoheat in supporting New Zealand’s manufacturing and processing sectors.
