This is done by offering six month specialized courses for professionals who have a minimum of one year 's practical experience in geothermal work in their home countries , and by giving UNU Fellows who have already completed the 6 month courses the possibility of extending their studies to a MSc degree in geothermal sciences or engineering . New Zealand opens the first large geothermal electricity-generating plant driven by steam heated by nonvolcanic hot rocks . It is a particular pleasure for me to address you here today on this 28th graduation ceremony of the UNU Geothermal Training Programme in Iceland . Results of this research on the electrochemical behavior of the high-temperature , high-pressure flowing aqueous solutions can be applied to the prevention of corrosion in power plants , and to geochemical processes , both for the understanding of natural mineral formation and for evaluating feasibility of geothermal energy recovery . The Forest Service serves as lead agency for geothermal leasing availability analyses and decisions and conducts analysis on geothermal activities on NFS lands .
