As part of the Australian Geothermal Association's webinar series, we heard from the University of Wollongong's Pabasara Kumari, discussing the emerging field of mine-based geothermal energy, with a focus on how consistent thermodynamic conditions found in mine environments can be harnessed for heating and cooling applications. Selected international case studies from the Netherlands, Canada, and the UK were examined, highlighting key technical challenges, such as resource as

As part of the Australian Geothermal Association's webinar series, we heard from Enead's Wouter Peere as he explores the practicalities of designing geothermal borefields. He highlights the benefits of geothermal heat pump systems, with a focus on the Australian context, explains the key physical principles behind borefield operation, and walks through the different steps of the design process. Whether you're an engineer, designer or driller, you'll come away with the knowled

As part of the Australian Geothermal Association's webinar series, we hear the latest from Eavor Technologies and their closed loop geothermal systems. Presenter : Neil Ethier is Vice President Origination based out of the Calgary office. His responsibility is to oversee a talented group of business development professionals globally. Neil has been at Eavor since 2020, where he has held various roles in both Corporate and Business Development. Prior to Eavor, Neil spent 20 y

The Australian Geothermal Association's AGM was held on 15th May 2025. Members can access a recording and documents from the meeting via the links below.

Soren Soe, co-founder of CoilRig , talks about coiled tubing drilling vs. conventional drilling and the advantages of utilising this technology. He touches on the CTEnergy 500, the latest innovation developed by the CoilRig team, and how they are shaking up the industry in the USA. Presenter : Soren Soe , the co-founder of CoilRig™, joined UniSA, in 2018 and has held various Project, Engineering plus Executive leadership positions since completing his Bachelor of Science in

The Latrobe Valley in Victoria exhibits an elevated geothermal gradient and is therefore of high interest for geothermal developments, with a geothermal doublet already in place at the local aquatic centre, providing temperatures of up to 68°C. In this talk, Rockwater and JRG Energy present a comprehensive geothermal feasibility study covering geological exploration of the Latrobe Valley, aquifer modelling and geothermal doublet planning, with the aim of providing heating to

At the AGA Webinar on 25 July 2024, Maryam Hamlehdar (University of Melbourne) presented a comprehensive review of the potential of geothermal energy for producing hydrogen, with a focus on Australian low-temperature geothermal reservoirs, particularly Hot Sedimentary Aquifers (HSAs). Australia’s HSAs are used as examples of how low-temperature geothermal reservoirs can provide potential solutions for hydrogen production. The work evaluates multiple metrics to appraise the fe
