“The carbon pricing framework and clean energy fund will hasten the development of geothermal energy projects here in Australia” Ms Jeanes said today.
“Geothermal energy is the great hope for the future supply of low cost, emissions free, baseload energy around the world over the coming decades and beyond.  Growth in the global industry is exponential as nations are turning to geothermal energy to provide power from conventional volcanic systems and from non-conventional systems to reduce their emissions from energy production.
“Australia is recognised as a world leader in the development of non-conventional systems and world leaders from the International Geothermal Association (IGA) and the International Partnership for Geothermal Technologies (IPGT) are coming to Melbourne next week to collaborate with and learn from our experts.
“The conference is the most valuable resource for learning about the industry and advances in technology.  It is a showcase of Australian companies and research institutions leading in the development of non-conventional systems.
“Keynote speakers from Europe, the United States and Australia and presentations from Australia’s listed geothermal companies and leading researchers will be part of the three-day conference. 
“Today’s important step towards policy certainty will help entrench Australia’s position as an important destination for the geothermal industry” Susan Jeanes said in Adelaide today.
