Summary
Several organizations welcome the Geothermal Sustainable Development Pact, noting that next-generation geothermal technologies can provide clean heat and electricity. They highlight the pact's focus on community engagement, environmental protection, and data transparency, specifically regarding hydraulic fracturing fluids and water intensity.
Key insights
- The Geothermal Sustainable Development Pact establishes best practices for responsible geothermal development, emphasizing community consultation, fair labor, the protection of water and cultural resources, and the use of near-zero emissions electricity generation and seismicity mitigation.
- The pact includes specific provisions to address public data gaps to improve project planning and policymaking, including the disclosure of water intensity data and chemicals used in hydraulic fracturing fluids, as well as the adoption of the U.S. Department of Energy's induced seismicity protocol.
