Eavor Senior Geologist Lynette Liston was recently awarded the prestigious Women in Energy Transformation award for her outstanding work. This award recognizes women who have made significant contributions to the energy sector, including the development and implementation of sustainable energy solutions. It highlights her exceptional contributions to the energy sector and her motivation to improve quality of life for people around the world. “The energy transition is important to me because a lower carbon, reliable, local baseload energy source could safely help reduce energy poverty—and literally empower nations,” said Liston in an interview with Women in Energy Transformations. Liston has accumulated a wide variety of skill sets from working in geology technology, leadership roles, and cross discipline roles with commercial and strategy teams. Her previous work experience in the Exploration and Production Industry involved on and off-shore projects, where she explored conventional and unconventional methods within the industry.

Singapore-based luxury lifestyle magazine The Peak featured a piece on the impact of investment venture capitalist Dr. Finian Tan, and his opinion on why supporting change-makers is necessary – and profitable. Since 1984, The Peak Magazine has specialized in publishing profiles and interviews with “C-suite executives, captains of industry and successful entrepreneurs in Singapore.” Dr. Finian Tan is no exception to the high calibre criteria, having worked as the Deputy Secretary of Trade and Industry for the government of Singapore, the Asian trading arm of Goldman Sachs, and other major venture capital firms. Dr. Tan’s long career in investing has left him an expert in the field, no stranger to the tenets of exponential growth and calculated risk. However, unlike many in the investment industry, Dr. Tan also recognizes the great importance of “investments in sustainable and inclusive growth areas that create paths towards a healthier planet and society.”

With global demand for energy expected to increase by 50% by 2050, it is essential we find a range of energy sources to replace fossil fuels and support the transition to a clean energy future. Eavor’s revolutionary geothermal technology provides a source of constant, stable energy to complement less reliable renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar, and can be used in a broad range of locations all over the world, and has a much smaller footprint than other renewable technologies. After trialling their prototype system in Alberta over the last three years, they are now embarking on a series of commercial and industrial-sized projects, breaking ground on two projects in Bavaria and New Mexico, which will be the world’s deepest and hottest directional geothermal well ever drilled.

The 41st annual CERAWeek Conference by S&P Global has dominated industry headlines for more than a week, and renewable energy spent more time in the limelight than conventional sources like oil and gas. In particular, the emerging next-generation geothermal industry received a great deal of attention, reinforcing what major players in the sector already know: geothermal’s revival is gathering global momentum, and Calgary-based Eavor Technologies holds a key position at the industry’s helm. Jeanine Vany, Eavor’s executive vice president of corporate affairs, met with U.S. Department of Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm during the week-long event, following a panel appearance by CEO John Redfern in an Agora session on the opening day of CERAWeek.

Bloomberg Opinion columnist David Fickling wrote a detailed treatise on the state of technology transfer in the energy industry, and how renewables – particularly next-generation geothermal – could benefit from existing expertise. Fickling has covered all things energy and commodities for Bloomberg Opinion since 2015. His column focuses on short, albeit informative articles explaining the nuances of the energy transition for both the educated and the uninitiated. To start, Fickling points out historical cases of unintentional tech hits (and misses) that revolutionized our world – epipens and microwaves are merely two examples of repurposed military technology.

Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm’s recent visit to Utah comes at the heels of Biden’s new State of the Union address about the future of green energy. The United States is planning a gradual transition from a total reliance on oil and gas to leveraging green energy technology. This transitional process is necessary to keep a reliable source of power for the nation. “This is a transition. It’s not an on and off switch,” Granholm said at a news conference. “We need to make sure people have power.”
