Be Part of the First EAGE Workshop on Geothermal Energy and Hydro Power in Africa
The virtual workshop will focus on technical subjects relevant to Renewable Energy in Africa and globally, focusing on Geothermal and Hydro Power. The final technical program will be based on the themes of submitted abstracts, however we aim to include contributions related to the following topics linked to geothermal and hydro power:
1. Applied Geoscience in Geothermal exploration and development - to include geology, geophysics, geochemistry reservoir engineering, and field development, power plant development and operation.
• Caldera geothermal systems and case studies.
• Utilization of borehole well data to map sub-surface structures in geothermal fields.
• Conceptualizing geothermal fields before and after exploration drilling (Exploration).
• Geoscientific data quagmire - when Geological Geochemistry and Geophysical field data won’t synchronize (Exploration).
• Geothermal Resource - Direct Applications to Industries, Technologies and Successful Case studies.
2. Applied Geoscience in Hydropower Resource assessment and development - to include geology, Hydrology geophysics, geochemistry, reservoir engineering, power plant development and operation.
• Hydropower engineering and technologies.
• Potential Contribution of Hydro and Geothermal Energy Mix.
• Potential of Run of the River Hydropower in Mitigating Climate in Sub Saharan Africa, Application to Agriculture industries.
• Adverse Climate Change effects on Hydropower in Africa, Case studies.
3. Engineering and Finance - The State of Infrastructure, Storage, Trading, Transmission,Distribution and Retail.
• Regional interconnection. Role of “Power Pools” in Electrifying Africa and how geothermal could contribute to this.
• Future cross border power trade. Case Study Power Pools, East Africa Power Pool, Southern Africa Power Pool and Central Africa Power Pool.
• Developing adequate infrastructure in the power service (replace value with service) chain to plug electricity deficit and mitigate economic cost. Utilizing Development Finance institution ( DFI) and export Credit Finance ( ECA).
4. Policy and Regulation - The State of Energy& Power Policies, Regulations, what’s working and what’s not, success case studies for policies that have been successful in attracting and catalyzing capital.
• Environmental issues safeguards as central to energy policy and regulations.
5. Financing - Renewable energy Programmes and projects financing.
6. Technologies, and Capacity Building - Power Utilities Management Case studies, what is really ailing African Utility Companies?
7. Technology the 4.0 Industrial Revolution - How Data will shape the Future Energy Industries.
• How Africa Can Utilize Data to measure and manage power and energy. Data Driven Programmes Development to accelerate Electricity Proliferation in Sub Saharan Africa.
• Data and Technologies of the 4.0 Industrial Revolution in Mitigating Climate Change. Application to energy Programmes.
• Data and Technologies of the 4.0 Industrial Revolution in Powering Geology and all other applied Geosciences. Highlight Case Studies.
