GTO 2015 Peer Review

On May 11–14, 2015, the U.S. Department of Energy's Geothermal Technologies Office (GTO) conducted its regular program peer review in Westminster, Colorado. As chairperson for the event, Dr. Kate Baker provided direction on program planning to ensure a consistent, transparent, and independent review process.

This expert evaluation of the technical progress and merit of GTO-funded projects attracts geothermal stakeholders from around the nation, who provide valuable feedback and recommendations on future GTO strategies. DOE-funded projects are evaluated for the accomplishments, results, and progress of their geothermal research and scientific approach. The body of research is organized by topic “tracks” and presented by the principal investigators topically to a panel of independent experts and an audience of interested stakeholders. To support a rigorous analysis of the GTO portfolio, qualified experts provide comments on project strengths, weaknesses, and areas for improvement. 

Topic tracks followed GTO's program areas at that time: Track 1: Systems Analysis and Low Temperature, Track 2: Hydrothermal Resources, and Tracks 3 & 4: Enhanced Geothermal Systems.
