Kartik GanesanGUEST
So, in fact, this is the portion actually that, as I said, was done by partners at Project Inner Space.

Kartik GanesanGUEST
So, I'm obviously sort of parroting something that I myself have, to be honest, picked up in my conversations with them and my own reading of the chapters as they were being written.

Kartik GanesanGUEST
So, ultimately, what is it that you need to be able to go after geothermal? You need to understand what is the thermal gradient which is basically the rate at which temperature is increasing after a certain depth, right? Of course, technically it actually decreases for a certain depth primarily because the ground is much hotter in tropical countries because of the sun's radiation.

Kartik GanesanGUEST
So whereas immediately below the surface, it's actually at a slightly cooler and a more steady, you know, 25, 22, anywhere between 22 and 28 degrees.

And I think obviously these issues come to fore whenever there is an energy source involved, especially something that is connected to a natural resource but so for a private investment to come in there has to be a policy framework for a policy framework to be there there has to be line ministry or ministries uh so i just wanted to get an understanding from you because you've now studied this so deeply what would be the ideal policy framework what are the current stakeholders in the public sector like oil companies or ministries which you think should take a lead you mentioned that should be you know identified as a renewable energy and should have a target corresponding to what other RE sources have but if you can build an ideal supply chain policy scenario for me what would it be?
