Georgsson and Fridleifsson 10 Geothermal energy in the world 4.4 Workshops and Short Courses The Short Courses/Workshops are set up in a selected country in the target region through cooperation with local energy agencies/utilities and/or earth science institutions, responsible for exploration, development and operation of geothermal facilities in the respective countries. In implementation, the first phase has been a week long workshop during which decision makers in energy and environmental matters in the target region have met with the leading local geothermal experts and specially invited international experts. The status of geothermal exploration and development has been introduced and the possible role of geothermal energy in the future energy mix of the region discussed. The purpose has, on one hand, been to educate key decision makers in the energy market of the respective region about the possibilities of geothermal energy, and increase their awareness of the necessity for more effort in the education of geothermal scientists in the region, and, on the other hand, to further the cooperation between specialists and decision makers in the different countries. The workshop is followed by “annual” specialized Short Courses for earth scientists and engineers in surface exploration, deep exploration, production exploration, environmental studies and production monitoring etc., in line with the type of geothermal activity found in the respective region, and the needs of the region. Material presented and written for these events has been published on CDs and is also available on the website of the UNU-GTP (www.unugtp.is). 4.4.1 The African series of Short Courses During the planning of the first Workshop, the priority region was East Africa with its huge and to a large extent unused potential for geothermal power development, and urgent need for electric power. Cooperation was sought with Kenya, which has been the leading African country in geothermal development.The cooperation has generally meant that the costs of all invited foreign participants (travels and accommodation) and non-local lecturers (salaries, travels and accommodation) are covered by the UNU-GTP and the Icelandic Government, while the costs of the local Kenyan participation and some of the local arrangements are born by the Kenyan geothermal companies. The first event in Africa, “Workshop for Decision Makers on Geothermal Projects and their Management”, was held in Kenya in November 2005. At the Workshop, high-level decision makers from five countries met to learn about and discuss the main phases of geothermal development and what kind of manpower, equipment, and financing was needed for each phase, and analyse what was available in the region (Fridleifsson et al., 2005). The result of the Workshop was that the Short Courses in East Africa should to begin with focus on surface exploration which was the field acutely needed for most countries in the region. The first Short Course was the ten day “Short Course on Surface Exploration for Geothermal Resources” held in November, 2006. The purpose was to give “a state of the art” overview of the methods used in surface geothermal exploration, and discuss the status and possibilities of geothermal development in East Africa. During the last 6 years, the annual Short Course in Kenya has gradually developed into a more general course on geothermal exploration: “Short Course on Exploration for Geothermal Resources”, which has become31⁄2 week long (Georgsson, 2010a; 2010b; 2011).A special addition in November 2008 was the “Short Course on Geothermal Project Management and Development” (Georgsson et al., 2008). This three day event, given in Entebbe, Uganda was mainly aimed at high level managers/employees in ministries/energy companies/research institutions in East Africa. Participation in the Short Courses in Kenya has increased with every year, not least due to the big pressure on capacity building in Kenya itself, which is needed for its intended fast-tracking of geothermal development in the next few years, with plans to increase geothermal power productionfrom the current 200 MWe electric to at least 1500 MWe by 2020 (Simiyu, 2010). New countries have also been added to those invited most years, and in many cases, they have been participating for the first time in UNU-GTP events. In total, 17 countries have now participated, thePDF Image | GEOTHERMAL TRAINING PROGRAMME LaGeo
