This webinar explores the evolving relation between geothermal energy and CCS as a potentially transformative pairing. Normally seen as distinct branches of clean energy, these sectors are converging around shared subsurface expertise, emerging co-location strategies, and mutual infrastructure needs. Attendees will gain insight into the fiscal viability of combining these technologies, the current policy frameworks supporting them, and what technical and geological hurdles must be overcome to scale this approach.

Our speakers will examine the status of integrating CCS into geothermal settings as a heat recovery method from CO₂ injection, as in CO₂-plume geothermal (CPG) systems, as well as through the potential reuse of depleted geothermal reservoirs for CO₂ storage. Topics will include geological co-optimization, reservoir integrity, permitting frameworks, advances in drilling and monitoring technologies, and new R&D developments. The webinar will also cover financing models, incentives like 45Q, and how state and federal policy can better align to support dual-use infrastructure. Whether you’re an engineer, policymaker, investor, or researcher, this session will offer practical insights into the promise and limits of this innovative cross-sector strategy.
