Session 1: The Geothermal Market of Today: New Opportunities, New Risks - The geothermal market has changed, with significant expansion in the most recent 10 years. There are three key components driving this geothermal market expansion – new technology, new money, and “new” locations. With expansion, though, comes new risks, which may require legal rulings and shifts. Presented here are the most recent developments – the technology, the locations, the money that is driving new growth for this 100-year-old industry, and the risks that are driving policy and becoming top priority issues.
Session 2: Digging Deep: Opportunities and Challenges in Geothermal Project Development - Geothermal project development is a critical component in meeting future energy demand. Explore the full spectrum of legal issues surrounding geothermal development from foundational steps to the complexities of securing title insurance. Further, discuss whether projects should be treated more like subsurface mineral interests or surface power facilities.
