    Magnitude Global Finance | Amanda Lonsdale on CORE Knowledge Podcast

    Financing the geothermal decade will not be an easy task, it will take all hands-on deck. Both private and public institutions will aid in this effort. In order to scale geothermal in a significant way, new financing schemes will need to be formed that help break barriers and mitigate risk. What are some of these potential schemes and instruments that can be deployed? I sit down with Amanda Lonsdale at Magnitude Global Finance to talk about the current landscape and what needs to still be worked out.

    MB Century | Robert Mandjes and Greg Thompson on CORE Knowledge Podcast

    Full generation life cycle services are key to any project successfully being executed from design to commissioning. Having a provider who understands the needs/has expertise across a myriad of sectors is a huge plus. Having control and expertise across the full life cycle allows for innovations, such as finding ways to incorporate a circular economy model and partnering with local indigenous peoples to ensure mutual benefits across the board. MB Century is a leader across New Zealand, and I had the pleasure of sitting down with the CEO at the time Greg Thompson and the Director of International BD, Robert Mandjes.

    Devon Energy | Kyle Haustveit

    Sometimes paths cross and it just makes too much sense. When Devon first started using Fiber optic cables to assist with completions and other diagnostics in their oil and gas assets it was a new and upcoming technology. Fast forward to today and Devon has crossed paths with Fervo, a leading geothermal developer who is deploying fiber to analyze their completions, flow rates and more. I sit down with Kyle Haustveit, Manager of Devon Energy Ventures to discuss his background and how he and his team are pioneering yet again, this time for the energy future.

    ON Power | Helga Johannsdottir on CORE Knowledge Podcast

    What is a circular economy? According to google it is an economy in which things are made and consumed in a way that minimizes the use of the world's resources, or uses them more efficiently, cuts down on waste and reduces emissions. It just so happens that there is a very unique case study being performed as we speak in Iceland at the Hellisheidi Geothermal Power plant. I sit down with Helga Johannsdottir, Manager of Business Development at ON Power who is helping lead this effort.
