GBC and E&I Lunch & Learn Series: Geothermal 

Host: Climate Knowledge Initiative (CKI) in collaboration with the Green Business Club and Energy & Infrastructure Club 

About CKI: The Climate Knowledge Initiative (CKI) conducts rigorous techno-economic analyses and translates them into actionable, business-relevant insights to support informed decision-making on climate and energy solutions. Through research publications, online tools, and stakeholder engagement, CKI bridges the knowledge gap between academia and business leaders. With 15-20 fellows each term, a network of over 100 fellowship alumni, and seven flagship workshops engaging more than 90 experts, CKI fosters collaboration and knowledge exchange across academia and industry.

About Geothermal: With ~16 GW installed, conventional geothermal electricity supplies less than 1% of global power today, yet its resource potential exceeds global electricity demand more than 140 times. Aside from power generation, geothermal heating and cooling is already a proven technology that is projected to at least double by 2050 through residential and district heating expansion, with significant untapped potential for decarbonizing building thermal loads.

What to expect: A brief presentation on geothermal
technology followed by an interactive problem-solving session. Attendees will be broken up into small groups and given a case study to review. The event will conclude with each group discussing their solutions.
