Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (Dewa) is requesting proposals for an early-stage feasibility study on producing electricity from
geothermal energy and its use in desalination.
Spanish Ambassador to Lebanon Milagros Hernando emphasized the importance of renewable energy, adding that Spain was able to produce 50 megawatts of
geothermal energy.

geothermal energy utilization the electricity production is
The report said total global installed capacity in 2015 was 12.2 GW (market value $12.9 billion) for
geothermal energy, which is generated from within the earth, including molten magma, hot rocks and hot water found beneath and at the surface.
Founded in 2007 and headquartered in Seattle, AltaRock is a full-service
geothermal energy technology and services company.
The GRC Annual Meeting & GEA
Geothermal Energy Expo will bring together geothermal companies, academics, financiers, policy leaders, students, and other individuals to attend or exhibit at the event, to be held from October 23-26 at the Sacramento Convention Center, Sacramento, California, USA.

According to NGAP, the DOE strategy should apply new development technologies to what previously were considered to be second-tier resources, such as technologies that could use acidic and young geothermal systems, development of low-heat geothermal systems and the direct use of small-scale
geothermal energy technologies.
For example, a research project the Icelink, is looking at how to transport
geothermal energy from Iceland to the UK via a 1,000km cable.
"Even if we are not going to start using
geothermal energy tomorrow, just having this research and data available is helpful, because it means we can start to work on getting to the point where we do finally use
geothermal energy," he added.
Geothermal energy will be critical, especially in bolstering the twin pillars of manufacturing and food security.For manufacturing, we need affordable, reliable and clean energy.
The meeting, entitled: 'Working Together to Promote
Geothermal Energy Towards a Sustainable Energy Future' - the largest such meeting of ministerial representatives to discuss
geothermal energy - was marked by the release of a new report from the International Renewable Energy Agency (Irena), coordinator of the GGA, in which access to capital for surface exploration and drilling was cited as the main barrier to geothermal development.
