Discover the International Geothermal Association, our mission and actions, our members and partners.

OUR MISSION

WORLDWIDE IMPACT

We aim to encourage, facilitate and promote the development of geothermal resources, as well as innovative research in geothermal technologies, through visible and integrated position and representation of geothermal power, heat, geo-exchange, cooling and other uses of geothermal resources.

Our Association

WORLDWIDE IMPACT

We believe that geothermal represents an unlimited natural source of energy, which can play a significant role in meeting the world’s energy needs of the future. It is a renewable source that provides clean energy for a unique combination of purposes: power, heating and cooling, and direct uses. Geothermal is also unique in its ability to create additional revenue by offering multiple uses of the geothermal by-products such as health & beauty products, attract tourism and the increased interest in lithium production from geothermal brines. 

GEOTHERMAL FOR ALL

Future global energy needs can be based on a 100% renewable energy mix.
At the IGA we are committed to make geothermal energy a significant part of that.

We are convinced that geothermal can serve as a bridge towards a sustainable future, supporting the transition from a fossil-fuel to a renewable-based economy.
