What is Geothermal Energy?
To put it simply, it’s the heat beneath our feet. Did you know that at its core, the earth is roughly as hot as the surface of the sun? About 4,000 miles down, the earth’s molten core is over 6,000°C (or 10,800°F). That heat isn’t disappearing anytime soon – thanks to the continuous decay of naturally occurring radioactive elements which generate roughly 30 ...

Strada Global: Why we need to rethink the map on Geothermal
For decades, everything we’ve known about geothermal potential has been modelled on a map that shows available resources in some parts of the world, but not others. We need to change that mindset and make people aware that we’re standing on vast resources of geothermal heat, wherever we are in the world. When it comes to geothermal, there are hurdles in people’s minds. They ...
