About the Geothermal Talk series
The GEOTHERMAL Talk Series aim to help mobilizing the African geothermal community and beyond. The first GEOTHERMAL talk took place virtually on the 18th of January 2024, under the title of ‘‘Geothermal Potential of Africa: The Great Promise and Current Status’’. To make a good and inspiring start, this first talk had distinguished young experts from Morocco and Kenya discuss the geothermal potential in North and East Africa and highlight the importance of this clean energy resource in creating new horizons in the continent and reduce the energy dependence in the African countries by optimising the consumption and exploring new potential energy resources.
The upcoming geothermal talk series is set to encompass diverse perspectives and topics for future discussions. These include delving into the strategies adopted by selected African countries targeting the geothermal industry. Furthermore, the series aims to initiate debates on the various potential applications of this energy resource, offering closer insights through
specific case studies. Lastly, it will introduce various profiles of individuals actively involved in Geothermal Africa, fostering a broader scope for learning and communication among scientists, senior and junior geologists, and engineers.
The primary goal of these discussions is to raise awareness about the significance of geothermal energy within our societies. By refining the language used, our aim is to make information accessible to a wide audience, both professionals and non-professionals alike. We firmly believe that a comprehensive understanding of geothermal energy is crucial for collaboration among individuals from various backgrounds. By ensuring that professionals and non-professionals alike comprehend the subject, we strive to foster a collective effort towards the advancement of geothermal energy.
