Successful enhanced geothermal system (EGS) projects require specialized materials that can withstand the high temperatures and harsh conditions of superhot rock (SHR) environments. ...
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. ...
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 ...
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 while cutting down on heating and ...
EnergySmart Alternatives of Medford, Massachusetts has been hired to install a geothermal heat pump heating and cooling system for the historic home of ‘Little ...
Which is why here at Strada Global, we are focused on challenging the status quo of historic geothermal mindsets with new, innovative drilling technology and approaches that make geothermal power accessible and affordable, everywhere. The known geothermal map was created based on the range of existing technologies to specify where ...
All we have to do is tap into it. How do we access geothermal energy? The challenge that the geothermal energy industry has faced up until now is – how do we get down deep enough to access geothermal resources? ...
At Strada, our mission of unlocking the potential of geothermal energy through our technology is something that drives us every day. ...
And that’s exactly what we want to address. What is geothermal energy, and where is it found? Geothermal energy is heat generated from the earth’s core. ...
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. Read the interview below for a closer insight into why Strada chose to focus on geothermal technology, the mission that drives our company and why we believe ...
We’ve identified the issues raised by ultra deep geothermal drilling, and set out to solve them through game changing technology. ...
Our successful testing demonstrated the advantages of our patented Fluid Hammer Operating System (FHOS): A significantly higher drilling rate in hard igneous rock Superior removal of cuttings from the hole Safer operator environment Deeper drilling capability Better safety due to downhole capability Q2/3 2020 – Manufacture Following the successful testing of our ...
We need a stable, constant energy source that doesn’t harm our planet. 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 ...
(DNH) and administered by the US Bureau of Land Management, represents a unique opportunity to test and develop Enhanced Geothermal System (EGS) technologies in the field. In partnership with the US Department of Energy, AltaRock Energy has been carrying out the Newberry EGS Demonstration project. ...
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 . ...
AltaRock is working with HotRock Energy Research Organization (HERO), the CTUIR, and the United States Geologic Survey (USGS) to look at the geothermal resource potential of the UIR. We’ll determine whether a viable resource exists by studying the structural geology, rock outcrops, stratigraphy, and other signs of geothermal activity within the UIR. ...
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 ...
AltaRock Energy, in cooperation with the Washington Division of Geology and Earth Resources (WADGER), is conducting a detailed exploration study of Washington State as part of the Play Fairway grant funded by the DOE Geothermal Technologies office. WADGER recently created a Washington State geothermal resource potential model that incorporates numerous variables ...
