The Role of Geothermal in a Net-Zero World

Geothermal energy harnesses the Earth’s natural heat to produce electricity and heating. As governments and investors seek firm, low-carbon alternatives to fossil fuels, geothermal is gaining traction - not only in traditional hotspots like Iceland and Indonesia, but across emerging markets in the US, Europe, Africa and beyond.

However, unlocking this potential hinges on people. The sector demands a unique blend of subsurface, engineering, and project finance expertise - often drawn from oil & gas, mining, and energy infrastructure. That’s where Acre comes in.

Clean Energy Needs Experienced Talent

Whether it’s developing new geothermal fields, scaling enhanced geothermal systems (EGS), or integrating with district heating networks, Acre connects organisations with world-class talent across the sector. From drilling engineers and geoscientists to board-level executives, our recruitment solutions are designed to drive innovation and impact.

Why Geothermal, Why Now?

The global geothermal market is expected to grow at over 7% CAGR through 2030, driven by energy security concerns, decarbonisation policies, and innovation in drilling and subsurface mapping technologies. Geothermal offers a 24/7 renewable solution — but growth is constrained by a shortage of experienced professionals.

Technology is evolving, capital is flowing, and regulatory frameworks are maturing. But to scale successfully, geothermal companies must build expert teams with the right blend of technical, commercial and sustainability skills. We help you do just that.
