Leveraging this work along with artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques will help us assess the entire nation’s potential for geothermal energy with greater speed and accuracy.” Almost all existing geothermal power production comes from hydrothermal systems, in which groundwater naturally circulates through heated ...
This may include supplying a distributed control system (DCS), electrical infrastructure architecture, and digital solutions such as asset performance management, process optimization and cybersecurity systems. ...
The U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), in coordination with the U.S. Departments of the Interior, Agriculture, and Defense, this week released a study showing that there is significant potential for further expanding renewable energy production on federal lands. The most comprehensive study of its kind finds that onshore federal lands in the contiguous United ...
Department of Energy has released the second-round funding opportunity in the Geothermal Technologies Office’s (GTO) Enhanced Geothermal Systems Pilot Demonstrations initiative, providing up to $14.2 million for projects to test the efficacy and scalability of enhanced geothermal ...
As energy costs rise and climate action becomes increasingly urgent, innovative solutions are essential. One such solution is Geothermal Heat Pumps, an advanced technology that utilises the Earth’s natural heat to provide efficient and eco-friendly heating and cooling for homes and ...
Department of Energy this week (Feb 13) announced the selection of three projects that will receive up to $60 million to demonstrate the efficacy and scalability of enhanced geothermal systems (EGS). Funded by the landmark Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the pilot projects will use innovative technology and a variety of development techniques to ...
This week at the Stanford Geothermal Workshop, Fervo Energy published early drilling results from its Cape Station project that exceed the Department of Energy’s expectations for enhanced geothermal systems (EGS). ...
Sage Geosystems Inc., a geothermal baseload and energy storage company, this week (Sept 12) announced groundbreaking results and data from their full-scale commercial pilot confirming the performance of its energy storage system that can provide short- or long-duration storage (EarthStore ). ...
Closed-loop geothermal is an encapsulated system within which a proprietary working fluid is contained and circulated in a closed-loop to harvest heat from deep in the earth to be used for commercial applications, such as generating electricity. An enhanced geothermal system (EGS) is an advanced ...
The company notes that the successful well test confirms the commercial viability of Fervo's drilling technology and establishes Project Red as the most productive enhanced geothermal system in history. The 30-day well test, a standard for geothermal, achieved a flowrate of 63 liters per second at high temperature that enables ...
Department of Energy this week (Feb 8) announced a funding opportunity of up to $74 million for up to seven pilot projects that will test the efficacy and scalability of enhanced geothermal systems (EGS). Directed by the landmark Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), the pilot projects will use innovative technology and a variety of development ...
Department of Energy this week released a new analysis quantifying the potential of enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) as a widespread renewable energy option in the United States. ...
Enhanced Geothermal Systems, or EGS, are promising technologies which, by tapping into heat stranded in rocks below the Earth’s surface, may enable reliable electric power production across the nation, according to the Department of Defense. ...
Department of Energy recently (Sept 22) announced $12 million in funding for seven research projects to advance the commercialization of enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) manmade reservoirs that produce clean, renewable energy. ...
