Australia has historically been considered a very “cold” country, geologically speaking; not a place that immediately conjures thoughts of geothermal power generation.

This interest has been fueled by a growing realization that Australia is blessed with world class “hot dry rock” and low temperature hydrothermal resources, coupled with a growing imperative to reduce Australia’s carbon footprint
