A research project on CO2 reinjection in geothermalpower generation facilities by GNS Science , in collaboration with Mercury NZ Ltd. , Under current practices in most parts of the world, geothermalpower stations emit naturally occurring CO2 that is initially dissolved in the geothermal fluid as part of the power generation process.
PT Pertamina Geothermal Energy (PGEO) has implemented a Joint Study Agreement (JSA) with PT Elnusa Tbk (Elnusa), PT PGAS Solutions (PGASOL), and PT Pertamina Maintenance and Construction (PertaMC) to develop technology solutions for geothermal and explore opportunities for domestic production of a number of geothermalpower plant components.
Planning, executing, and recalibrating exploration drilling for Government of Indonesia-led geothermal exploration and project preparation. This component will provide targeted geoscience support for progressing geothermal exploration projects and preparing geothermalpower and direct use projects for commercial development.
The app was developed with CerebralFix , a game development studio that creates innovative and interactive digital experiences for companies including entertainment giants like Disney, Pixar, and Dreamworks. In 2023, Seequent expanded its geothermal modeling capabilities to surface facilities with the acquisition of Flow State Solutions.
