Project Innerspace: Africa as a showcase of geothermal prospecting.

GeoMap™ Beta was launched a couple of years ago at the 28th Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (“COP28“) Climate Innovation Forum in Dubai, UAE.

“A fundamental driver behind GeoMap™ is to showcase underestimated and untapped geothermal potential, especially in regions where new and cleaner energy sources are desperately needed,” said Helen Doran, Lead Geologist at Project InnerSpace.

“By demonstrating our capabilities on the African continent, a high growth and population dense region of the world that is one of the world’s most challenging with regard to energy data access and availability, we are positioning ourselves to move quickly in geographies that have more accessible and robust sources of data for future launches.”

“As we worked with the data, we recognised that sedimentary basins positioned on thin lithosphere are attractive targets. This combination makes Nigeria an excellent potential location for geothermal energy development” said Doran. “As a testament to the power of the collective data and analysis of GeoMap™, this is a region of the world that had been largely overlooked as a geothermal development prospect in prior work.”
