The International Geothermal Association (IGA) and the International Association of Drilling Contractors (IADC) have signed a MoU to formalise their efforts in driving the global geothermal industry forward.
Posted on IGA’s Linkedin page, the MoU outlines commitments by both parties including the advocacy for favourable, standardised permitting and licensing systems; sharing best practices and technical knowledge; engaging regulators and legislators to align laws with the realities of geothermal development; and the promotion of each other’s work.
Marit Brommer, IGA CEO, said, “To fully unlock geothermal’s potential, we must remove the bottlenecks – and permitting is at the top of the list. With IGA and IADC working side by side, we’re building the trust, alignment and momentum needed to turn endorsement into action.”
