Join us for a webinar on the 31st of January on ongoing efforts for the development of technologies to harness supercritical geothermal in New Zealand.
As part of the regular Focus on Geothermal Webinar series – a partnership of Enerchange and ThinkGeoEnergy, we are proud to host Dr Isabelle Chambefort of GNS Science for a webinar on “Supercritical geothermal: A baseload energy solution for New Zealand”
The New Zealand Government recently announced $60 million will be ringfenced to explore the potential of supercritical geothermal technology. Isabelle will explain the science and the project that built the foundation of this decision – and why New Zealand could be the optimal testing ground for developing supercritical technology for the rest of the world.
The webinar details are as follows:
Date / Time: 31 January 2025, 08:00 NZT / 30 January 2025, 14:00 EST

Isabelle is a geothermal geoscientist with more than 20 years of experience in geothermal, ore deposits and petrology research. Her research focuses on the magmatic hydrothermal geochemical transition in arc systems. She led the recently completed “Geothermal Next Generation” programme which explored New Zealand’s supercritical resources and successfully secured $60 million in funding from the New Zealand government to explore supercritical technology and its potential as a baseload solution.
