Dear Colleagues:
‘GeoPower Americas 2011, supported by the Geothermal ResourcesCouncil, will provide an in-depth analysis of the geopower market inNorth, Central and South America, focusing on specific market potentialand how it can best be realized.’
Geothermal Energy is poised to become more economical than fossilfuels in a short time frame.*
Geothermal is increasingly recognised as the most important source ofzero-emissions base load energy the world currently has access to. Withits tiny land-use footprint and low cost energy, geothermal is expandingrapidly across the Americas as financial and technological conditionsdevelop to support it.
152 geothermal projects are currently in development in the US alone
The event combines critical updates on government policy, technology, andfinance with analysis of new business opportunities across South America,Central America and previously untapped US States. Offering real projectopportunities and bringing together key policy-makers, utilities, developersand investors from around the world, GeoPower Americas is the must-attend conference in the geothermal calendar.
I look forward to meeting you in San Francisco
Kind regards

Geothermal Technology BriefingGeothermal Resources, Technologies, Applications & Economics:A 1-day introduction and market update for non-engineers
Course objectives
This one-day course is designed to introduce the basics of geothermal power (theresource types and the different methods for harnessing them), outline the evolution oftechnology developments and deployments, and provide a discussion of geothermal'scompetitive positioning within the power and energy markets. Presented in aninteractive and inclusive manner, it describes the basic science and technology basis forgeothermal energy, but places this very much within a commercial and businesscontext. This approach makes the course ideal for those of a non-technical backgroundand either new to the industry or in need of a quick, convenient, yet comprehensiverevision of the key issues facing it. Past attendees have been drawn from backgroundsas diverse as finance and investment, project development, technology provision,consultancy and regulation.
The course provides an excellent chance to get up-to-speed prior to attending themain GeoPower Americas conference on the following days.

Wednesday Morning 23 February 2011Pre-Event Risk Briefing
Reducing the Effect of Risk in Geothermal Development:Key Tools to Maximize Investment Success
Risk is a defining feature of the Geothermal investment landscape and a key stumblingblock in many development projects. Attend the half day Pre-event Risk Briefing todiscuss your concerns in detail and discover more about the effect of risk on yourinvestment prospects, and how to negotiate around the obstacles. The workshop isideal for developers, and investors looking to gain a maximise success rates and ensurea profitable outcome.
Understanding Risk in Geothermal Energy Development: • With the one of the lowest levelized costs for electricity, why do geothermal energy
developers struggle to acquire project financing? • What are the key risks associated with geothermal energy development? • What information do investors need to know to help understand risk and reward for
individual geothermal projects Including analysis of how geothermal reportingcodes can help with project analysis: how many MWs in the ground and at whatlevel of certainty
• What key attributes do you need to see in your development team to improveprobability for project success and completion?
• How can industry reduce overall project risk, both geological and financial?
The session is led by Mr. Craig Dunn, founding partner of Borealis GeoPower Inc, apioneer leader in geothermal energy exploration and development.
Wednesday Afternoon 23 February 2011
Resource to Electricity, An Integrated Journey Half day seminar covering all aspects of resource work and project design
The half-day seminar will show you how to reduce your risk by matching your projectdesign to the resource available. The multi-speaker session will allow a completeanalyses of project development from the perspective of consultant, engineer andconstruction manager. A chance to discuss the process from start to finish and learnfrom the combined experience of three industry veterans.
• Finding the resource • Defining the resource • Appropriate technologies for differing resources • Gathering the resource and how it affects the gathering system • How resource issues can complicate the above ground design • Plant design; resource plus water plus air emissions
The session will be led by Kevin Wallace, Geothermal Lead at POWER Engineers, JillHaizlip, Senior Geochemist and President at Geologica, and Henry Veizades of Veizades& Associates.
