Unearthing Hidden Treasure - Geothermal Energy

Japan is the 3rd most geothermal-rich country in the world. Steam and hot water from geothermal reservoirs are used to turn turbines and generate geothermal power. Although it's environment-friendly, the difficulty of pinpointing their locations has been an impediment. Technology that builds on existing seismic monitoring technology is being developed to locate them. Join us and learn about geothermal power plants, geothermal turbine production, and new research regarding geothermal energy.
