Many countries have been pushing in various international forums, such as IRENA, the UN and the World Bank. In many discussions with industry and government representatives and IRENA, he won many supporters for this initiative. The main challenge for geothermal is how little attention it receives, and that early drilling risk still represents one of the main hurdles. This Alliance will help to join and bundle forces and knowledge to overcome the challenges faced by the industry.
