Successful enhanced geothermal system (EGS) projects require specialized materials that can withstand the high temperatures and harsh conditions of superhot rock (SHR) environments. AltaRock Energy is collaborating with Brookhaven National Laboratory, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, Ozark Integrated Circuits, Blade ...
Newberry Volcano, located near Bend, Oregon, sits atop one of the largest geothermal heat reservoirs in the western United States. After extensive research, AltaRock Energy and its partners have concluded that Newberry could support a commercially viable enhanced geothermal system (EGS) power plant. Using superhot rock (SHR) ...
That said, a geothermal system does require higher upfront costs for installation. Fortunately, you can finance a Dandelion system with no money down and pay as little as $150/month! ...
Shawn G. is a homeowner from Middlesex County, Connecticut who recently installed a Dandelion Geothermal Heat Pump to heat and cool his home. In this video review, Dandelion Homeowner Shawn G. will walk you through the customer experience from the sales and design process to drilling and installation. You’ll learn about which tax incentives he took advantage of, the total costs to replace ...
In this micro-documentary, the Pique Action team visits Dandelion Energy, a geothermal heating and cooling company that installs systems across the Northeast United States. By replacing furnaces and boilers with geothermal systems, Dandelion is able to harvest a reliable, natural energy source ...
EnergySmart Alternatives of Medford, Massachusetts has been hired to install a geothermal heat pump heating and cooling system for the historic home of ‘Little ...
We can empower change and switch to clean renewable power, simply by tapping into the energy beneath our feet. In their recent feature on geothermal, Quartz reported: ‘Creating new geothermal fields, it turns out, requires just the right amount of rock and heat. ...
A few more benefits for geothermal energy: it’s an inexhaustible energy source that’s emission free. ...
At Strada, our mission of unlocking the potential of geothermal energy through our technology is something that drives us every day. ...
They think their country doesn’t have geothermal energy, or it’s too expensive to get to. Or there’s just a simple lack of understanding about what geothermal is and how it can be harnessed for energy. And that’s exactly what we want to address. What is geothermal energy, ...
I was interviewed recently by Patrick Hanson of Geo Energy Marketing, an organisation in the US that seeks to tell the stories of innovative businesses within the geothermal space. ...
The energy potential that lies beneath our feet has historically been measured by what can be achieved – and what can’t be. ...
For Strada, it’s about accelerating the opportunities our technology has to positively impact the planet. Geothermal energy isn’t simply about generating heat, it’s also about delivering a balanced, constant supply throughout the day, the week and the year – the holy grail of renewable energy technologies. The last six ...
Geothermal energy generation is clean, renewable and cost-effective over the long term, and the world has vast, untapped geothermal resources. ...
Looking for a little inspiration? Me, too. We’ve all heard the statistics. One million species worldwide are currently at risk of extinction. Over 5 trillion pieces of plastic are polluting our oceans. The day the Arctic fully melts may happen within our lifetimes. And perhaps most shockingly, the latest report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change tells us that we have a ...
AltaRock Energy, Inc. actively manages over 40,000 acres of geothermal leases on the western flank of Newberry Volcano in central Oregon. ...
The Newberry EGS Demonstration project is the site of cutting-edge research into enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) development. AltaRock Energy began investigating the Newberry site for EGS development in 2009 . ...
This is an exciting new project to expand understanding of the natural resources of the Umatilla Indian Reservation (UIR) and move the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation (CTUIR) one step closer to energy independence. AltaRock is working with HotRock Energy Research Organization (HERO), the CTUIR, and the United States Geologic Survey (USGS) ...
This is an R&D project which will build and test a new field-scale thermoelectric generator (TEG) at our Bottle Rock Power geothermal facility near Cobb, California. TEGs produce electrical energy when a strong enough temperature difference exists across the generator (a phenomenon known as the Seebeck effect). This will be the first TEG developed specifically to generate electricity from a ...
Therefore, as part of Phase I of the Play Fairway project, AltaRock Energy has developed an innovative geothermal exploration technique that specifically models crustal deformation in this region, and how it produces favorable geothermal resources. ...
