Geothermal Workforce Development Stakeholder Survey
GEODE Initiative
Geothermal energy is a versatile and underutilized resource that offers continuous, round-the-clock power and a wide range of uses, from electricity generation to agriculture, desalination, heating and cooling, and even mineral recovery. Despite its potential, only a small fraction of geothermal energy in the United States has been tapped.
As part of the Geothermal Energy from Oil and Gas Demonstrated Engineering (GEODE) initiative led by Project Innerspace and the Society of Petroleum Engineers and funded by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Geothermal Technologies Office, our working group on Workforce Training and Development is dedicated to advancing geothermal development by drawing on the skills and expertise of the oil and gas sector. 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. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts.
