Geothermal provides a unique opportunity for the intersection of energy and our livelihoods to intersect. Energy demand will increase, but with that so will the need for food production. Access to energy and food can go hand in hand with the exploitation of geothermal resources beneath our feet. In areas hard to reach or with limited infrastructure, sustainable energy and food can be produced in a symbiotic relationship. I sit down with Sigurdur Markusson, Managing Director of GEORG to talk about this intersection.
Innovation is at the heart of the energy industry and with geothermal it is no different. Sigurdur Markusson has been involved in a variety of projects that have dealt with harvesting geothermal energy and using it to sustainably produce food and now takes over the role of managing director at GEORG. It is time for collaboration, innovation, and awareness to accelerate for the geothermal industry.
