In New Zealand, geothermal resources are rarely a limiting factor, and the underlying economics bias is towards full utilisation of the capital-intensive plants and wells. This means that all geothermal in New Zealand has so far run as base load, supplying 18% of the total electricity production in the last calendar year.
But what if geothermal supply could be flexible? As the change in energy mix and a projected growth in demand pose significant challenges for national energy system management, what conditions need to be present to incentivise a varied output from NZ geothermal power plants? What is the role of batteries, thermal energy storage and co-production of fuels, chemicals, and other value-adding products at geothermal sites to support an alternative utilisation path for renewable electricity?
That’s what’s on our minds at the moment. Read this paper for more.
At Upflow, we are dedicated to promoting the widespread adoption and intelligent utilization of the full spectrum of geothermal energy resources. This includes harnessing the potential of heat, fluids, gases, minerals, and microbes to develop practical, real-world solutions that align with the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
We firmly believe in operating in a manner that aligns with these goals and reflects our commitment to creating a more sustainable world. Our work is not only focused on achieving sustainable outcomes but also on how we operate and conduct our business.
We strive to be a model for sustainable business practices, demonstrating that it is possible to drive innovation and growth while also protecting our planet's future.
