Video: Seizing the Geothermal Opportunities – Global Geothermal Alliance (IRENA)

The Global Geothermal Alliance, a global platform for collaboration between industry, policy makers and stakeholders shared a video on how we can seize the geothermal opportunities for power generation and heating.

Launched at COP21*, the Global Geothermal Alliance (GGA) serves as a platform for dialogue, cooperation and coordinated action between the geothermal industry, policy makers and stakeholders worldwide.

As stated in the Joint Communiqué on the Global Geothermal Alliance, the GGA is a coalition for action to increase the use of geothermal energy, both in power generation and direct use of heat. It calls on governments, business and other stakeholders to support the deployment of realizable geothermal potential. The Alliance has an aspirational goal to achieve a five-fold growth in the installed capacity for geothermal power generation and more than two-fold growth in geothermal heating by 2030.

What the GGA is designed to do?
