| Abstract | The confluence of legislative tenure, renewable energy policy drivers, supportive equity markets and recognition of Engineered Hot Rock and Hot Subterranean Aquifer geothermal energy potential for Australia has seen the development of a nascent Australian geothermal industry with some 33 companies holding licences for exploration and or heat extraction from these reserves. It is estimated that there are sufficient energy in the Australian crust to provide renewable, clean, base load power to meet Australia’s energy demand several times over. |
