DESCRIPTION:Join us for the weekly Stanford Energy Seminar! New location in
  Skilling Auditorium.\n\nTalk title: Enhanced Geothermal Systems: Are We T
 here Yet?\n\nAbstract: Geothermal energy has undergone a renaissance over 
 the past 15 years\, as many new technologies and new countries have joined
  the industry. Climate change concerns have focused attention on renewable
  energy\, supported by a global ambition to address greenhouse gas reducti
 on. Geothermal developments have accelerated in many parts of the world\, 
 both in countries (such as Turkey\, Indonesia\, Kenya\, New Zealand\, and 
 the US) that have a traditional interest in "conventional" geothermal reso
 urces\, as well as countries without a historical community in geothermal 
 energy (such as France and Germany). Some new developments have followed w
 ell-worn paths using conventional hydrothermal resources in volcanic regio
 ns\, while others have struck out in new directions in Enhanced Geothermal
  System (EGS) projects in nonvolcanic regions. Technology has allowed for 
 developments of conventional resources with lower temperature\, restricted
  water access\, and constrained surface utilization. EGS projects have lau
 nched in a variety of different directions and places. The use of innovati
 ve hybrid plants\, lower resource temperatures and enhanced reservoir stim
 ulation has made geothermal energy accessible in a much wider variety of p
 laces.\n\nSpeaker Bio: Roland N. Horne is the Thomas Davis Barrow Professo
 r of Earth Sciences and Professor of Energy Science and Engineering at Sta
 nford University\, and Director of the Stanford Geothermal Program. He was
  the Chairman of the Department of Petroleum Engineering at Stanford from 
 1995 to 2006. He served on the International Geothermal Association (IGA) 
 Board and was the 2010-2013 President of IGA. He was Technical Program Cha
 irman of the World Geothermal Congress 2005 in Turkey\, 2010 in Bali\, Mel
 bourne in 2015\, and in Iceland in 2020-2021. Roland is a member of the US
  National Academy of Engineering and an Honorary Member of the Society of 
 Petroleum Engineers. He is also a Fellow of the School of Engineering\, Un
 iversity of Tokyo and an Honorary Professor of China University of Petrole
 um – East China.\n\n \n\nMore about the Stanford Energy Seminar\n\nThe S
 tanford Energy Seminar has been a mainstay of energy engagement at Stanfor
 d for nearly 20 years and is one of the flagship programs of the Precourt 
 Institute for Energy. We aim to bring a wide variety of perspectives to th
 e Stanford community – academics\, entrepreneurs\, utilities\, big busin
 esses\, and more. We're proud to have hosted some of the biggest names in 
 the energy world as well as those just starting out. \n\nSeminars take pla
 ce most Mondays during the academic year and typically have an audience of
  100+ attendees. Anyone with an interest in energy is welcome to join one 
 seminar or all of them! You can enjoy seminars in the following ways:\n\nA
