Abstract
Geoscience Australia’s $58.9M 5-year Onshore Energy Security Program began in 2006 and included a new Geothermal Energy Project. The OESP concluded in June 2011 but the Geothermal Energy Section continues albeit with reduced funding.
The project aims to assist the development of a geothermal industry in Australia by: providing precompetitive geoscience information, including acquisition of new data; informing the public and government about Australia’s geothermal potential; providing technical advice to government; and partnering with industry in international promotional events for the purpose of attracting investment.
This abstract gives a brief summation of activities undertaken by Geoscience Australia within the Onshore Energy Security Program potentially of interest to geothermal explorers.
