GEAA is a stakeholder driven Association that advocates increased investment in geothermal energy and increased awareness of this sustainable source for near zero-carbon power, heat and hot water.

The Association is a not-for-profit organisation offering leadership and a dialogue in the energy transition debate. It is open to all those interested in advancing geothermal energy and its role in transitioning to a world using less petroleum.

Geothermal energy is a constant energy source that is present everywhere occurring naturally underground - both onshore and below the sea-bed. It can be accessed through the use of wells, providing a reliable, year round 24/7, emissions and pollution-free base-load for power generation and heating, both for on-grid and off-grid projects.

Integration of geothermal solutions to provide low emission heating and power can significantly reduce global carbon footprints and accelerate Net Zero ambitions. 

Geothermal projects can often utilise existing petroleum industry infrastructure, technology and wells whilst applying the subsurface skills and innovation of geoscientists and engineers.

Geothermal energy can be used for a stable supply not subject to weather conditions, does not involve significant carbon emissions or pollution, does not consume large amounts of rare minerals, and often can be configured as financially standalone projects.

The Association promotes awareness and consideration of geothermal energy as an energy and heat source, and policy and legal frameworks to accelerate the use of geothermal energy. With increased investment, and a wider understanding of how geothermal energy can be used, it can become a key part of a clean energy future used in all countries and communities. 

GEAA activities are developed through Sector Working Groups open to all members:

• Subsurface - geology & thermal characterisation
• Wells - drilling & engineering, supply chains
• Topsides - heating & cooling systems, power, desalination, green hydrogen & mineral extraction
• Technologies - innovation, applied R&D
• Case studies - projects, HSE
• Local, Community & National Advocacy
• International & Global Advocacy
• Legal, Regulatory & Policy
• Energy Transition and Climate Change
• Financing - Grants, Contracts, Markets, ESG
• Social Media, Web & Events
