| Abstract | Geothermal energy may be ubiquitous, but being ‘out-of-sight’ (subsurface) can also mean ‘out-of-mind’ for many people. This paper explores the legacy of past deployment projections, and how to increase confidence in future projections and awareness of global geothermal resource potential, while remaining cognisant of its technical, economic and social deployment challenges, and the adaptive strategies necessary to sustain utilisation in the long term. |
