Geothermal at the Environmental, Energy and Economy Nexus Workshop in Salt Lake City, UT

环境、能源和经济联系的地热研究约翰·霍尔布鲁克，得克萨斯大学，阿灵顿，沃尔特·斯奈德，博伊西州立大学约瑟夫·摩尔，犹他大学EGI-1138567本次研讨会将于11月6日至8日在犹他湖城举行，将讨论基础研究的基本方面，这些研究是促进开发沉积盆地周围巨大地热资源所必需的。该研讨会将解决物理科学，工程，计算和教育固有的挑战，发展这种可持续的能源供应。讲习班的目的是确定一条前进的道路，以便将这些广泛的社区组织起来，寻求有效的解决办法。该研讨会将是真正的跨学科和跨社区，涉及地球科学，工程和网络基础设施。它还将包括来自工业界的代表，因为工业界必须能够利用NSF的研究成果，将地热能上网。最后，将有一个共同的努力，以解决教育和推广的机会，与此多社区的努力。研讨会将提供一个路线图，如何NSF的社区，通过基础研究，设施开发和教育，可以帮助使沉积盆地的巨大地热潜力的国家的可再生能源组合的重要组成部分。研讨会将评估科学和工程研究成果的实际转让方法，以减少经济风险，并将评估建立教育基础设施以支持这一可持续能源行业的方法。跨学科专家小组的研究结果将总结在一份文件中，该文件将分发给NSF和能源利益相关者，作为满足地热能实际使用的关键需求的路线图。

Geothermal at the Environmental, Energy and Economy NexusJohn Holbrook, University of Texas, ArlingtonWalter Snyder, Boise State UniversityJoseph Moore, EGI, University of UtahEAR-1138567This workshop to be held November 6-8 in Salt Lake City Utah will address the fundamental aspects of basic research that are needed to facilitate the tapping of the vast geothermal resources ambient to sedimentary basins. The workshop will address the physical science, engineering, computational, and educational challenges inherent to developing this sustainable energy supply. The workshop is intended to identify a way forward that can be used to organize these broad-ranging communities toward effective solutions. The workshop will be truly cross-disciplinary and cross-communities involving the geosciences, engineering, and cyberinfrastructure. It will also include representatives from industry because it is industry that must be able to use the outcomes of NSF research to bring geothermal energy online. Finally, there will be a concerted effort to address the education and outreach opportunities associated with this multi-community effort.The workshop will provide a road map for how NSF's community, through fundamental research, facilities development, and education, can help make the vast geothermal potential of sedimentary basins a significant part of the nation's renewable energy portfolio. The workshop will evaluate methods for practical transfer of findings in science and engineering toward reduction of economic risks and will evaluate means for building the educational infrastructure to support this sustainable energy industry. The findings of the cross disciplinary team of experts will be summarized in a document that will be dispersed to NSF and energy stakeholders as a roadmap toward meeting critical needs for practical use of geothermal energy.
