Geothermal Institute
Our research
Since its inception research has remained central to the activities of the Geothermal Institute.
We are extremely proud of the impact we have made in the Geothermal industry. By applying our research directly to industrial consulting projects we have had the opportunity to develop many important innovations.
Recent highlights include the development of next generation geothermal modelling tools, above ground engineering optimisation and geoscientific methods for guiding exploration.
These new techniques have been developed and tested internationally, and we collaborate regularly with researchers and industry professionals in New Zealand and overseas. The number of overseas industrial projects and international research collaborations continues to increase.
