Renewable sources of energy are becoming increasingly attractive. What are the prospects in Victoria for sourcing Geothermal Energy and how can it be utilised to greatest effect? Two key speakers provided a concise overview of this growing potential for the Cinderella of energy resources in the State of Victoria.
 
Jim Driscoll, Geoscientist, DPI, has been with the Victorian Government’s Geoscience Victoria Group for more than 6 years. He is familiar with the recent implementation of the VIC Government’s Geothermal Resources legislation to manage the exploration and extraction of Geothermal Energy. Jim summarised the Government’s position and provided an overview of the potential within the State of Victoria.

 

Phil Galloway, Managing Director, Syncline Energy Pty Ltd, has twenty years experience in developing resource and energy projects around the world. Prior to forming Syncline he was VP Business development with BHP Billiton Aluminium and was closely involved with the successful BHP Billiton merger in 2001.
