IEA-GIA Webinar – Mine Water Geothermal Energy Symposium, March 10-11, 2021
In collaboration with BGS and BEIS, IEA Geothermal will be holding a webinar on mine water heating and cooling in two half-day sessions, March 10-11, 2021.
Together with the British Geological Survey (BGS) and the UK Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy, the International Energy Agency’s geothermal group are organising a webinar on “Mine Water Heating and Cooling: A 21st Century Resource for Decarbonisation.”.
The event will be held 9:00am to noon (British Standard Time), March 10-11, 2021 via the Zoom Webinar platform.
