On June 29th - 30th 2011, eyeforenergy is holding its second annual Enhnaced Georthermal Systems (EGS) Conference in San Jose, California. Geothermal is a promising renewable resource that has a very bright future.Geothermal energy is a safe and reliable renewable power source that can produce energy 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The aadvantages of geothermal power include the fact that it produces little or no greenhouse gases. Geothermal energy will also create high-paying, long-term jobs. In 2008, the geothermal industry accounted for 25,000 jobs.
EGS offers the ability to improve existing geothermal wells to increase productivity. EGS also offers increased energy production by producing geothermal energy in new environments and at various depths.
However, geothermal energy is costly, technically challenging and socially sensitive. So far EGS has relied on government funding worldwide.
EGS claims a big slice of the $600 million of the federal stimulus for geothermal development over the next two years.
According to the organizers of the EGS event, now is the time to analyze and discuss whether geothermal energy will move away from this reliance and will eventually attract private investment. With the likes of Google.org already heavily encouraging EGS it certainly looks promising.
There are huge opportunities for geothermal contractors wanting to establish themselves in this rapidly growing industry.
The EGS Conference is subtitled "Push your EGS project forward by developing an effective Financial, technological and socio-economic strategy."
At the 2nd Annual Enhanced Geothermal Systems Conference attendees will receive:
- Unique global updates: Learn from the successes and challenges of our global experts to increase the realization of your EGS project
