Arctic Green Energy, the world’s leading geothermal company, is pleased to announce the appointment of Dr. Marit Brommer, Executive Director of the International Geothermal Association (IGA), as a part-time Advisor.

In this new role, Dr. Brommer will help drive Arctic Green Energy’s international growth strategy through project lead generation and project scoping, focusing on accelerating geothermal development in power generation, heating, and cooling.

Dr. Brommer brings over two decades of experience in the extractive and geothermal industries. As Executive Director of the IGA, she oversees the management, engagement, and development of a 5,500-member strong global network, coordinating 35 affiliated country members. Her extensive background includes leading R&D for sub-surface projects at Shell, serving as an Exploration and Production Geologist at Total, and consulting at Royal Haskoning in the UK. Dr. Brommer holds a PhD in Reservoir Geology from Delft University of Technology.

The appointment comes at a time of significant momentum for Arctic Green, which has developed geothermal heating and cooling projects in over 70 municipalities across Asia, Europe, and the Middle East and continues to expand in new regions. Through its joint ventures, Arctic Green leads the world’s largest geothermal heating and cooling consortium, commanding 40% of the global market share for active deep geothermal wells, including the largest market share in China.

Marit’s insights and leadership will help us unlock continued growth, particularly in our new markets where geothermal stands ready to reshape the energy landscape. With her onboard, Arctic Green is now one step closer to reaching new heights as the world’s foremost geothermal player.”

Dr. Marit Brommer:
“I am thrilled to join Arctic Green as a Senior Advisor on a part-time basis. In this role, I will be offering strategic guidance and insights to support the company’s continued growth and success, with a geographic focus on Asian and Middle Eastern markets which hold enormous untapped potential for geothermal energy to decarbonize cities and enable green grids. While I am excited to begin this new chapter, I will also continue to serve in my current capacity at the IGA, balancing both roles to contribute effectively to both organizations. I am grateful for the opportunity and look forward to collaborating with the talented team at Arctic Green.”

This appointment underscores Arctic Green Energy’s commitment to maintaining its leadership in the rapidly growing geothermal sector, as the world increasingly turns to renewable energy to meet decarbonization goals.
