Sustainability
Our Progress
CO2 calculations are our own estimations, with GEG and its acquired assets’ emissions based on installed capacity and availability.
Emissions from conventional (traditional fossil fuel) systems obtained from Tecla, UNUGTP Report 2010.
Graph representing GEG and its acquired asset’s yearly CO2 minimization in millions of tons, along with the cumulative CO2 minimized each year (based on our own estimations).
Since its inception, we estimate that GEG and its acquired assets have already achieved the avoidance of over 2 million tons of CO2 through the company’s geothermal activities alone.

Our Bottom Line
GEG conducts activities with the utmost integrity in order to support the goal of minimizing the company’s ESG impacts and advancing the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
GEG is committed to sustainable development in all its endeavours, and all GEG operations take ESG (Environment, Social, and Governance) factors into consideration.
GEG will also consider stakeholders on all levels during both development and operations, and aims to positively impact the nearby communities where operations will take place. The company’s plant design also guarantees the lowest footprint per MW of installed power generation capacity not only in geothermal, but also for other types of renewable energy power generation technologies.
The company’s Board of Directors is responsible for GEG’s sustainability policy and the Executive Director is responsible for its implementation.
