New Zealand is the world's fifth largest generator of geothermal energy with just under 20 percent of our electricity generated this way.
In November, the government announced a ringfencing of $60 million from the Regional Infrastructure Fund to be used for exploring geothermal's potential and its place in New Zealand's overall energy mix.
Jeremy O'Brien leads a global team at Seequent - a technology leader in the worldwide geothermal industry, as well as oil and gas, carbon capture, and offshore wind. Last year, Seequent and the International Geothermal Association (IGA) partnered up to attempt to increase the viability, availability and accessibility of geothermal energy.
Jeremy shares about the geothermal's potential.
