Geothermal draws energy from hot fluids traveling through the Earth's subsurface. These fluids are used to drive turbines producing electricity, directly to heat homes or in industrial processes. Traditionally, geothermal energy has been viewed as energy restricted to environments where it is visible - however new technological breakthroughs and the realities of needing 24/7 access to energy are changing the investment landscape.
Marit Brommer, Chief Executive Officer, IGA, said, "Geothermal energy has been overlooked as a reliable and sustainable energy source. It is uniquely positioned to provide this, and partnerships like this are essential to accelerating its growth. We are excited to partner with Seequent, whose technological innovations in subsurface modeling bring clarity to geothermal development, empowering countries to leverage this clean energy resource and drive meaningful progress toward global net zero goals."
Seequent software supports more than half of the world's geothermal electricity production, bringing clarity to a complex unseen challenge of managing subsurface resources
Graham Grant, Chief Executive Officer, Seequent, said. “Seequent is honored to partner with the International Geothermal Association for the next two years. We will work with global partners to build clear and consistent messaging for the industry, positioning geothermal as a vital contributor to the energy transition. “We will also work together to promote best practice and partner on major events, including as a Diamond Sponsor in the digitalization category for the 2026 World Geothermal Congress.”
Seequent's latest innovations include adding new physics capabilities to its software to trace fluids more accurately, ultimately leading to more efficient resource management and a more sustainable geothermal operation.
Seequent customer Fervo Energy is applying oil and gas technology to find new ways to produce geothermal energy for Google's data centers in the Nevada desert.
Jack Norbeck, Chief Technology Officer and Co-Founder, Fervo Energy, said: “Seequent's partnership with the International Geothermal Association marks an important step in advancing the role of geothermal in the global energy transition. At Fervo, we've experienced firsthand how Seequent's technologies enhance our ability to manage and optimize geothermal reservoirs. This collaboration promises to support the industry's growth, helping unlock geothermal's potential to deliver sustainable, around-the-clock energy to meet the world's growing demand for clean power.”
