19 The authors Albert GENTER Graduating from University of Orléans with a PhD in Geology in 1989, Albert Genter carried out research on the Soultz-sous-Forêts pioneered geothermal project. After his PhD, he was employed by BRGM, working on Enhanced Geothermal System (EGS). At BRGM, he was successively a junior geologist, R&D project manager, then geo-energy unit manager and finally deputy manager of the geothermal division. In 2007, he joined the Heat Mining industrial Group as the scientific manager of the EGS Soultz site. He was responsible for a geoscientific program for monitoring this geothermal plant producing electricity. From 2014 to now, he joined geothermal industry at Électricité de Strasbourg Géothermie (ÉSG) as deputy general manager. He was, for example, the main coordinator of the European Horizon 2020 MEET project from 2018 to 2022. Since 2025, he is retired but still involved in geothermal energy as an independent consultant. Albert was elected at the board directors of the International Geothermal Association (IGA) from 2013 to 2020. He was also elected at the board of directors of the French Geothermal Association (AFPG) from 2022 to 2024. He is author or co-authors of about 70 international scientific publications. He has also contributed to educational purposes by providing academic lectures in universities (Mainz, Neuchâtel, Paris, Orléans, Strasbourg) and in High Schools (Mines Nancy, École de Géologie de Nancy, IFP School). During his career, he was examiner or supervisor of about 30 students (PhD, master) and 2 accreditations to supervise earth sciences research. He got two best presentation awards at the geothermal US conference GRC in 2009 and 2014. He got also an award from the WING (Women in Geothermal) association. Carole GLAAS Dr Carole Glaas is a junior geologist with an expertise in fractured reservoirs from the Upper Rhine Graben (URG). She was graduated in 2021 with a PhD from French Universities of Strasbourg and Poitiers. She did her PhD in relation with Électricité de Strasbourg Géothermie (ÉSG). She focussed on the crystalline part of geothermal wells drilled in fractured reservoirs located in the URG. During her PhD, she investigated hydrothermal alteration minerals like clay minerals as well as the fractured reservoirs from a structural point of view. At ÉSG, she was in charge of geological studies and well log interpretation
