From the 2024 Offshore Technology Conference comes The Green Insider. Our guest is a fellow podcast host and Geothermal geoscientist lead for Teverra, Dr. Joe Batir. He also is host of the Energy Transition Solution podcast.
When you have heard the word geothermal mentioned, have you wondered what they were talking about? On this podcast, we answer that question in a way you can understand.
Now, if you’re like me and thought ‘geothermal’ was just a fancy word for ‘my coffee’s gone cold again,’ then you’re in for an enlightening experience. Geothermal energy is like Earth’s natural sauna, providing clean, renewable energy right from the depths of our planet. And who better to guide us through this subterranean spa than a geoscientist who’s been digging the dirt on geothermal for over a decade?
ERENEWABLE and The Green Insider Podcast now brings you episode 239 on everything geothermal.
