Preferred tenderers for the Federal Government’s Geothermal Framework PDF Print E-mail
Wednesday, 10 October 2007

There was no official announcement as such, but sometime around Wednesday 10th the preferred tenderers for the Federal Government’s Geothermal Framework and Technology Roadmap project were decided. SKM are the principal consultants for the job, and many of you may have received invitations to register for the first Workshop in Brisbane on Wednesday 7th November.

What may not be apparent, however, is that HDRPL are sub-consultants on the contract and we will play a significant role. I ask that anyone who has received an invitation to the first Workshop please register online at (I think): http://www.vision6.com.au/ch/ctfb19/312189/9a379107y0.html, and have your say in the direction the industry heads in this country over the next few years.

News emerged from the Sunshine State on Thursday 27th of a “nation-leading” Geothermal Centre of Excellence planned for Queensland.

$15m from the Queensland State Government over the next five years, with a further $3.3m from the University of Queensland, is ear-marked to “establish a critical mass of scientific and engineering expertise specialising in geothermal power generation which will help make Queensland a hub for developing this exciting new technology.”

Newsflash

There was a flurry of stories in the media following the release of Prof Ross Garnaut’s report on the economic impact of carbon dioxide emission controls. The report recommended that Australia aim for emissions cuts of between 5 and 25% by 2020, and Garnaut explicitly said that geothermal energy could play a key role in achieving those cuts.
