Countries and companies in Latin America accepted the challenge to reduce GHG emissions to achieve the goals set by the Paris Accords of 2015. The mix of energy sources must migrate from the current one to something that resembles more the one projected by BP and others. The Circum Pacific Belt provides a unique opportunity for the region to grow its use of geothermal energy as an additional renewable method for producing electricity.
Latin America’s rich mineral resources are key to address the storage and transmission needs for the growing renewables generation. Important reserves of all key minerals exist on the continent. Geophysical information from Full Tensor Gravity Gradiometry (FTG) surveys will provide important information useful to achieving these goals.
