Geothermal Energy: Emerging Growth Opportunities
Scaling Geothermal from Niche to Clean Infrastructure
Geothermal energy is moving into a new phase of relevance as energy security, industrial heat decarbonization, and the need for 24/7 carbon-free electricity reshape global energy systems. Advances in next-generation geothermal technologies are overcoming historical cost, risk, and geographic constraints, positioning geothermal as scalable, multi-sector clean infrastructure.
• Fossil fuels account for approximately 75% of global carbon emissions from electricity generation and heating.
• Global carbon dioxide emissions reached 37.8 gigatonnes in 2024, reflecting a 0.8% increase year-on-year.
• Next-generation geothermal technologies are expanding viable deployment beyond conventional hydrothermal regions, reducing geographic and subsurface constraints.
