The theme for this year’s PIGC is “Road to 5G: Gaining Greener Global Geothermal Generation.” The topics for the conference include but are not limited to the following:

• Geothermal exploration advancements
• Environmental, social, and governance
• Innovations in well drilling, testing, and intervention
• Corrosion and scaling management

During last year’s PIGC, Department of Energy (DOE) Undersecretary Rowena Cristin Guevara stated that the agency hopes for the country to regain its spot as the country with the 2nd largest installed geothermal power generation capacity. The country has several projects in the pipeline including binary power plants in the Tiwi and Palayan Bayan geothermal fields that are expected to start operations soon.
