Powering Agri-Food Value Chains with Geothemal Heat, IRENA webinar, 23 June 2022
IRENA, for the Global Geothermal Alliance, in collaboration with the International Geothermal Association, is holding a this capacity building webinar via Zoom. This relates to the launch of IRENA‘s upcoming report Powering Agri-Food Value Chains with Geothermal Heat: Guidelines for policymakers, which provides best practices for the deployment of geothermal heat in the agri-food sector based on successful global case studies. The use of geothermal heat in the agri-food sector is growing worldwide, with examples from Africa, Asia, Europe, the Americas, and Oceania. This webinar aims to share the available options for accelerating the use of geothermal heat in the agri-food sector. The preliminary agenda includes the following main topics :
Introduction and Opening Remarks
Leveraging energy in the agri-food sector
Global Overview of geothermal agri-food applications
Geothermal resource and demand mapping for agri-food applications
Case study - Geothermal Energy Master Plan, resource assessment tools, policy instruments
Enabling framework conditions to foster investment in geothermal direct use (agri-food)
Perspectives on Financing of Direct Use projects
Addressing the knowledge gap on potential and opportunities for geothermal use in the agri-food sector
