II. IEA GEOTHERMAL R&T PROGRAMME Control of the Geothermal R&T programme is vested in the Executive Committee (ExCo), which comprises one member and one alternate from each of the Contracting Parties. There is typically one Contracting Party for each country, which is usually a government department or agency. The ExCo meets in regular session twice each year to exchange information, discuss progress in each of the tasks and in each of the participating countries, and plan future activities. Decisions are made by majority vote, unless otherwise specified in the IA. In 2002, the GIA ExCo decided to increase the scope of its activities. Consequently, it created a dedicated Secretariat, which began operations in March 2003 and is funded by a Common Fund. The GIA’s programme is implemented through the conduct of collaborative projects called tasks, which are described in detail in annexes to the Implementing Agreement (IA) (Chapters 2-6). The Tasks are first approved by the ExCo, and then appended as annexes to the IA. These tasks, referred to by their annex number, are managed by an Operating Agent organization within one of the Member countries. It is estimated that the level of effort spent by each country on GIA activities is on the order of one to several man-years. Up to the end of 2004, all of the GIA annex activities have operated under the “task-sharing” mode of funding. This may change in the near future as a result of some of the activities planned in Annex VIII- Direct Use of Geothermal Energy. GIA research results are disseminated through participation at international conferences and workshops, and publication in scientific and technical journals and conference proceedings (details in Chapters 2-6). In addition, information is made more widely available on the new GIA website and through promotional material being produced by the GIA Secretariat. In 2004, 9 countries and one international organization formally participated in this programme (Table 1.2).

About one-third of the current population has no electricity and the economies of any of the developing countries are expected to grow very rapidly in the coming decades. We are facing an enormous challenge to provide affordable, clean energy to meet these accelerating needs. The increased awareness of global warming issues and the detrimental effects caused by the use of fossil fuels has also led to a growing desire to use clean, sustainable, renewable energy sources.
