On Thursday, February 20 at 10:00 a.m. ET, the Atlantic Council Global Energy Center will host a discussion on geothermal energy advancements and policy pathways. This event is part of a broader initiative supported by ClearPath to promote the development and deployment of enhanced geothermal systems across the United States.
Geothermal energy, a high-capacity, clean, and abundant domestic resource, can play a pivotal role in fortifying US energy security and resilience. As the administration champions energy dominance, geothermal offers an opportunity to harness oil and gas sector expertise to unlock its full potential. Its diverse applications—powering data centers, artificial intelligence infrastructure, military bases, and other high-demand sectors—position it as a cornerstone of the United States’ diversified energy future.
This event will focus on overcoming these barriers and exploring next-generation geothermal technologies to drive energy security and achieve critical economic and environmental goals.
This discussion will take place live at the Atlantic Council headquarters and will be broadcast over Zoom, YouTube, X, and Facebook. To receive the event information, please register using the form on this page.
