Projects Thermoelectric Generators in a Geothermal Field - Case Study

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 ...

Projects Umatilla Indian Reservation Geothermal Resource Study - Case Study

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) ...

Geothermal Heat Pumps

Geothermal heat pumps are among the most efficient and comfortable heating and cooling technologies, but instead of using heat found in outside air, they rely on the stable, even heat of the earth to provide heating, air conditioning and hot water. The heat pump equipment works like a reversible refrigerator by removing heat from one location and depositing it in another location. Installing a ...
