Exploring Geothermal Energy: A 10-Week Program Launch

March 8, 2025 - 12:01

Stony Brook’s Office for Research and Innovation has launched an ambitious 10-week program dedicated to advancing knowledge about geothermal energy. The initiative began on March 4 with an engaging keynote address by geothermal expert Mike Richter, who shared insights into the technology's potential and benefits.

The program aims to educate participants on the fundamentals of geothermal energy, including its applications, sustainability, and role in combating climate change. Over the course of ten weeks, attendees will engage in a series of workshops, discussions, and hands-on activities designed to deepen their understanding of this renewable energy source.

Geothermal energy harnesses heat from the Earth’s core, providing a consistent and reliable energy supply. As the world seeks cleaner energy alternatives, this program represents a significant step toward promoting innovative solutions in the energy sector. Participants will have the opportunity to collaborate with industry leaders and researchers, fostering a community dedicated to sustainable energy practices.
