A new Perth-based research centre dedicated to developing technologies designed to help establish sustainable, low-emission, geothermal cities, was opened in December. The Western Australian Geothermal Centre of Excellence (WAGCOE) is a joint venture between CSIRO and the University of Western Australia, in conjunction with Curtin University of Technology, and supported by the WA State Government. The centre brings together researchers, industry, investors and government agencies to investigate how geothermal energy can be used to provide modern cities with air conditioning, power and desalinated water.
