Call for further commitment to geothermal energy industry

摘要

Australian Geothermal Energy Association (AGEA) chairman, Terry Kallis has urged for commitment to geothermal energy through government funding. Speaking at the Australian Geothermal Energy Conference in November 2010, Mr Kallis said the geothermal industry needed a price on carbon and strong capital funding similar to that received by other clean energy industries such as carbon capture and storage and solar. It also needed infrastructure built to bring low-cost geothermal energy into the national electricity market.
