International Luncheon by Fernando r. echavarria, Ph.D., u.s. Department of state, office of space & advanced technology, Bureau of oceans, environment & science (oes/sat) International participation at the 36th GRC Annual Meeting was especially strong this year, with more than 40 countries represented. The growth of geothermal energy activity in emerging markets today is significantly higher than that of the U.S., and should offer unique opportunities for U.S.-based providers of geothermal goods and services. For the fifth year, the annual meeting broadened its international outreach by hosting an International Luncheon on the first day of the conference. The idea for the luncheon is to bring together international attendees and U.S. geothermal stakeholders from both public and private sectors. Chile: Introduced by GRC’s Interim Executive Director, Steve Ponder, the first presentation was given by Professor Alfredo Lahsen of the University of Chile, who provided an update on his country’s geothermal energy developments. Prof. Lahsen, who was instrumental in the drafting of the Geothermal Energy Law in 2000 that regulates the ownership of geothermal resources, described at least four projects that are in the pipeline. Domestic and international investment in the sector continues with players such as ENEL-ENAP, GeoGlobal Energy Chile, and multiple mining companies. Kenya: The second presentation was given by Edward Kiroge, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Kenya Electricity Generating Company (KENGEN) who provided a review of Kenya’s aggressive geothermal expansion program. His presentation provided a detailed review Chile has vast, untapped, geothermal resources of 17,000 MWe and over 10 percent of the world’s land volcanoes, and more than 200 hot springs. The Chilean government has now awarded more than 69 geothermal exploration concessions and 4 exploitation concessions. Exploration drilling has been completed in five areas: Tinguiririca, Calabozos, Laguna del Maule, Chillan and Tolhuaca (or San Gregorio). The latter two have completed production wells and are moving quickly to become South America’s first geothermal electric power generating projects. of the African continent’s unrivaled leader in geothermal energy development. His presentation was on behalf of Kenya’s two leading geothermal institutions, KENGEN and the Geothermal Development Company (GDC). Dr. Silas Simuyi, the Director of GDC, had been invited, but was unable to attend the meeting this year. Edward Kiroge’s comprehensive presentation provided a wealth of statistics about Kenya’s geothermal development. As of 2012, Kenya’s national electricity installed capacity is 1708 MWe 32 GRC Bulletin l www.geothermal.org Pictured left to right—near their country’s flags—are Dr. Marcelo Lippmann, luncheon co-organizer from the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Steve Ponder, Interim Director for the GRC, Fernando R.
