Inspiring the Next Generation: Geothermal Energy Sharing at Nitobe College, Hokkaido University

Our Senior Business Development Manager, Akira Yokoyama, presented an engaging introduction to geothermal energy, sparking meaningful discussions with students from Japan and around the globe. The session covered a wide range of topics, including:

• Japan’s potential in geothermal energy
• How turbines work
• Heat and electricity utilization
• The scope of EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) work in geothermal energy
• Key stakeholders in geothermal development
• Environmental assessment processes

Building a geothermal power plant is not merely a scientific or technological endeavor—it’s a collaborative process that incorporates social and environmental considerations. Ultimately, geothermal energy is about delivering heat and electricity to people, families, and communities.

Engaging with young minds is always an inspiring experience. Their thoughtful questions and fresh perspectives provide us with valuable insights, helping us innovate and move our projects forward.

We look forward to continuing meaningful dialogues with the next generation, empowering them to lead the way toward a sustainable future.
