Provisional assessment shows potential for 135 gigawatts of baseload power – if current technology works at scale in Nevada and 5 adjoining states. The projected 10 percent would be a major increase, as geothermal energy currently generates less than 1 percent of the nation’s power supply. The new assessment, which updates a 2008 USGS assessment, depends on widespread ...
Dandelion Energy, a leading home geothermal heating and cooling company, this week announced they are partnering with Lennar Corporation, one of the nation’s leading homebuilders, on one of the most significant residential geothermal heat pump deployments in US history. Over the next two years, Dandelion’s innovative geothermal systems will be integrated into over 1,500 new Lennar ...
With global electricity demand set to grow strongly, new technologies are opening up the massive potential of geothermal energy to provide around-the-clock clean power in almost all countries around the world, according to a new IEA report.The report, The Future of Geothermal Energy, finds that geothermal energy could meet 15% of global electricity demand growth between now and 2050 if project ...
Consumers Energy has received approval from the Michigan Public Service Commission to conduct a feasibility study about the potential implementation of a network geothermal system in areas where the company serves as both electric and natural gas provider. The effort will reduce heating costs for vulnerable customers while also lowering emissions in neighborhoods with historically low air ...
ABB and Sage Geosystems (Sage), a leading geothermal baseload and energy storage company, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) agreement to collaborate on developing energy storage and geothermal power generation facilities that utilize natural heat from the earth’s core to produce clean electricity. The collaboration will allow ABB to support Sage’s agreement with Meta, ...
These pilot projects will leverage the latest grid-edge solutions—like energy efficiency, demand-responsive building systems, energy storage, EV smart charging, and advanced grid-planning strategies—to equip communities and utilities with the tools and data they need to confidently manage our evolving electric grid." ...
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 ...

Like the steam engine and electricity, artificial intelligence is a general-purpose technology that could profoundly transform the global economy and the world’s energy system. Though key uncertainties remain, it stands to have major impacts. ...
Geotherm-FORMA has released a report on the recent market developments in geothermal technologies and the outlook for the market in 2030. In the executive summary of this report, Geothermal-FORMA states that due to the war in Ukraine and the high level of inflation in the European economy (leading to higher interest rater and lower building construction and renovation rates), the energy ...
The GeoSmart project, a groundbreaking initiative funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme, officially concludes today. This marks a significant achievement in the transition towards sustainable energy systems in Europe. The project has successfully developed technologies, such as the GeoSmart flexible power plants, to become highly adaptable energy ...
Sage Geosystems, Inc. and California Resources Corporation (CRC) this week announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to establish a collaborative framework for pursuing commercial projects and joint funding opportunities related to subsurface energy storage and geothermal power generation in California. This strategic partnership between Sage and CRC will focus on developing ...
ETIP-Geothermal is excited to announce the launch of its new vision for geothermal energy for 2030 and 2050, titled “Geothermal Horizons: From Cities to Regions.” This visionary roadmap outlines the potential of geothermal energy to play a vital role in the energy transition across Europe, contributing significantly to achieving the EU’s climate-neutral milestone by 2050. ...
A new technical report from Cascade Institute reviews state-of-the-art deep geothermal drilling and well-construction technologies, identifies existing technology gaps, and suggests strategies to overcome these gaps. The technologies include conventional drill bits, hybrid conventional drill bits, direct energy drilling systems, high-temperature downhole tools, insulated drill pipe, low-heat ...
Deputy Secretary of Energy David Turk and additional Biden-Harris Administration officials along with, investors, utilities, and other energy stakeholders to discuss the opportunity and growth of geothermal as a growing carbon-free energy source in the U.S. This partnership will deliver up to 150 MW of new geothermal baseload power to support Meta’s ...
The U.S. 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 systems (EGS). Directed by the Biden-Harris Administration’s landmark Bipartisan Infrastructure ...
The 2.0 version aims to foster development of new technologies to ensure that the grid is flexible, resilient, and sized correctly to accommodate increasing loads from vehicle charging, data centers, and building and industrial electrification. Examples include managed EV charging, low-power appliances, smart panels, energy storage, energy efficiency, and rooftop solar, as well ...
