GDC Partners with EGENCO to Unveil Malawi's Geothermal Potential: A New Era in Energy Exploration By: Robert Buluma In a significant move towards diversifying Malawi's energy portfolio, the Geothermal Development Company (GDC) has joined forces with the Electricity Generation Company of Malawi (EGENCO) to explore the untapped geothermal resources within the Rift Valley. This partnership marks a pivotal moment in the country's energy landscape, bringing with it the promise of a sustainable and reliable power source derived from the earth's natural heat. Malawi's geothermal potential has long been hinted at by the presence of hot springs scattered throughout the Rift Valley, with temperatures ranging from 35 to 75 degrees Celsius. These natural indicators of geothermal activity have piqued the interest of energy experts and scientists, but it wasn't until 2023 that concrete steps were taken towards harnessing this potential. Now, under the guidance of Dr. Maxon Ch

Geothermal Partnership to Secure Taiwan's Energy Future By  Robert Buluma In a move towards securing Taiwan's sustainable energy future, a groundbreaking collaboration has been forged between GNS Science of New Zealand, Taiwan's Geological Survey and Mining Management Agency (GSMMA), and National Cheng Kung University. This partnership aims to harness the power of geothermal energy, aligning with the shared vision of both nations for renewable energy and emissions reduction. Taiwan and New Zealand share more than just geological similarities; they also have parallel trajectories in transitioning towards renewable energy sources. Recognizing the critical role of geothermal power in the energy mix, this collaboration seeks to unlock the untapped potential lying beneath both nations' landscapes. On February 22, 2024, GNS and National Cheng Kung University held an academic seminar and cooperation discussion to solidify their commitment through a Memorandum of Understanding
