New Zealand Geothermal Week 2024
Amplify and New Zealand Geothermal Association are delivering an extensive line-up of events for NZ Geothermal Week 2024.
We are proud to sponsor this celebration of New Zealand's geothermal industry.
Why dedicate a week to Geothermal energy?
Geothermal is the only renewable source of baseload electricity currently available in New Zealand, able to consistently deliver electricity 24/7 year-round, independent of rainfall, sunshine or wind.
New Zealand has the fifth largest installed geothermal generation capacity in the world, behind the United States, Indonesia, the Philippines and Turkey.
Geoheat: Every Day, Everyone, Everywhere
Besides electricity, geothermal heat energy or “geoheat” supplies 8 PJ annually for industrial processes and primary production systems, displacing fossil fuels such as coal or natural gas. The industry aims to double this usage by 2030, providing a renewable, cost-effective, low-carbon heat source for others.
Geoheat is the chosen focus for 2024's New Zealand Geothermal Week because it's a reliable and low-carbon energy source that a variety of industries can directly benefit from.
Geoheat works by accessing geothermal energy from underground and transferring that energy to manufacturing processes through heat exchangers. This transferred energy can be used to power wood processing, food and beverage manufacturing, dairy processing, timber drying, horticulture, aquaculture, biotechnology operations and more.
We know it works. GNS has been supporting New Zealand businesses to transition to Geoheat for a decade or more.
