A bank helping with research, de-risking development, offering a technology incubator to promote innovation and providing funding? No way, not real. Well, actually the Inter-American Development Bank or IDB for short is active in the Central American and Caribbean regions. With their Vision 2025, they aim to target specific SDG's with the use of Geothermal, promote sustainable food production, provide funding to local SME's and create a space for innovation to lead to massive scale deployment of Geothermal in the region. Christiaan Gischler, Lead Energy Specialist at the IDB gives us a phenomenal overview of the amazing work happening at the IDB.
