Geothermal Subsurface Characterization: Geology & Geophysics Workshop
The GEODE Consortium is excited to present a workshop coordinated by the American Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG). The event is open to students, geoscientists, engineers, and anyone interested in expanding their knowledge about geothermal energy. The two-day virtual event will take place Feb 26th – 27th, 2025. You’ll hear from a wide range of experts explaining the latest technological developments using real-world examples of geothermal projects. Learn how to grow and adapt your skills to succeed in this growing renewable energy sector.
GEODE Datathons – Call for Participants
The GEODE consortium is launching two Datathons designed to empower the next generation of geothermal experts. We are calling on university students, young professionals, and anyone interested in expanding their geothermal know-how. Participants will learn from experts in the geothermal and oil and gas (O&G) sectors and use real-world challenges to uncover groundbreaking solutions.
Geothermal Workforce Development Stakeholder Survey
We aim to overcome barriers to geothermal deployment and support the expanding geothermal workforce by understanding the current skills and future needs of communities and organizations. This survey will help us understand public perceptions, needs, and interest in geothermal energy as we work to make it a cornerstone of sustainable energy in the U.S. Your input is vital to shaping this future.
GEODE Kick Off - Consortium moving fast to accelerate geothermal by collaborating with oil and gas
The Geothermal Energy from Oil and Gas Demonstrated Engineering (GEODE) consortium publicly kicked off in September on a comprehensive roadmap for unlocking the full potential of the renewable, clean heat beneath our feet. The event took place at the historic Julia Ideson Library in Houston.
More than 120 organizations came together, organized in working groups to discuss technology, data availability, demonstration projects, non-technical barriers, and workforce adoption.CAPABILITIES MAPPING Initiative by GEODE Consortium - National Labs
GEODE consortium is launching an initiative to develop an open-access AI-assisted database that catalogues key testing facilities, expertise, and research focus areas. Our goal is to map out the geothermal and oil & gas capabilities within National Labs to facilitate the adaptation of cutting-edge technology to geothermal environments in the near future. This is a call for action for National Labs, via an RFI process (Request for Information). Participants are requested to complete the form by 1st November.
Request for Proposals - Searchable Database to Support Capabilities Mapping
GEODE Consortium launches a Request for Proposals to develop an AI-assisted searchable database that will allow for both traditional search based on keywords and conversational searchbased on large language modeling (LLM). To facilitate the adaptation of O&G technologies to geothermal under Facet 1 (Technology Transfer), the GEODE consortium is surveying geoscience and engineering university departments and national labs to create a searchable database of relevant testing facilities, competencies and research interests inside of US National Labs and academic institutions with geoscience and engineering departments. Interested parties shall provide their RFP responses on November 7th, 2024.
CAPABILITIES MAPPING within US-based academic institutions - Request for Information
GEODE consortium is launching an initiative to develop an open-access AI-assisted database that catalogues key testing facilities, expertise, and research focus areas across the US. Our goal is to map out the geothermal and oil & gas capabilities within research institutions to facilitate the adaptation of cutting-edge technology to geothermal environments in the near future. This is a call for action for US-based academic institutions with Geoscience & Engineering departments, via an RFI process (Request for Information). Participants are requested to complete the form by 1st November.
Job opportunity with GEODE: Geothermal Venture Builder at MIT Proto Ventures
The GEODE Consortium is launching its first initiative to foster local geothermal innovation ecosystems, with a focus on entrepreneurship and go-to-market strategies. In partnership with MIT Proto Ventures, MIT’s internal venture studio, GEODE aims to identify ready-to-deploy technologies and launch geothermal startups as the vehicle to bring these innovations to market.
GEODE Consortium launches Internship Program
The GEODE Consortium is pleased to announce the opening of the application process for its Fall 2024 GEODE Internship Program, which invites college students passionate about renewable energy and sustainability to apply for positions in geothermal startups.
GEODE Consortium Launches to Roadmap the Growth and Development of Geothermal Energy
The DOE-sponsored program brings together more than 100 entities from the geothermal and oil and gas sectors to build the future of cross-industry collaboration.
