Magmatic regions hold significant high temperature geothermal resources at reasonably shallow depths around the world. The DEEPEN project, a consortium of industrial, academic, and national laboratory partners from Iceland, United States, Norway, Germany and Switzerland,will benchmark and improve exploration techniques and modelling methods to identify and assess ...
The Cascade mountain range in the Northwest U.S. holds significant, undeveloped geothermal energy potential. AltaRock Energy is working with Washington State geologists to explore the region’s hydrothermal resources using Play Fairway Analysis, a modified petroleum industry exploration methodology. This project uses geomechnical modeling along with temperature and ...
As the geothermal energy market heats up, techniques pioneered in the Middle Eastern desert could dramatically boost geothermal production rates-helping unlock a potentially vast global resource. Gary MacDonald, Middle East-based Global Business Development Manager with OSSO, a provider of specialist fluid temperature control and separation ...

OVERVIEW In the early 80's, it was necessary to be visionary and provide a good dose of courage to imagine and develop a network of geothermal energy in France. And yet, Chevilly-Larue and Haÿ-les-Roses have bet on this adventure and is now a real success. ...
Rankine cycle (RC) systems have been used for decades to generate clean electricity from heat, however these systems are restricted to sources of high-temperature heat such as found at large power plants, industrial complexes, and large geothermal sources. With the development of Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) technology, a refinement of the Rankine Cycle, there is ...
As a drilling technology company, it’s been interesting here at Strada Global to see the focus on geothermal energy gathering pace. The Net Zero commitment to decarbonise economies means that we’re seeing accelerating interest in geothermal energy from governments. ...
The known geothermal map was created based on the range of existing technologies to specify where geothermal can be accessed. ...
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? ...
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 ...
Developing and implementing innovative technology is about far more than just the big idea. ...
Cost Geothermal projects are often characterised by high upfront costs and long development timelines that lead to protracted investment payback periods compared to many other utility-scale power generation projects. ...
(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 . ...
In 2008 AltaRock Energy made an agreement with Weyerhaeuser Company (NYSE:WY) to explore the potential for developing geothermal projects on 667,000 acres of land in California, Oregon, and Washington. After 3 years of exploration and evaluation, AltaRock exercised its option to lease the geothermal right to approximately 45,000 acres of the land ...
In the Pacific Northwest region of the U.S., geothermal resources of the Cascades Range are largely undeveloped. The challenge of finding and developing geothermal resources in the Cascades is related to the complexity of crustal deformation in this region, as well as dense vegetation, glacial veneers, and extreme precipitation that erodes heat ...
Newberry Geothermal Energy (NEWGEN) is a collaborative effort lead by a team of researchers from Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, Oregon State University, and AltaRock Energy. ...
This will be the first TEG developed specifically to generate electricity from a geothermal resource with the goal of making renewable geothermal electricity more competitive in the marketplace. ...
But, the Caribbean is generally rich in free renewable energy sources like solar, wind, geothermal, wave power, and even a few potential hydroelectric sites that are going virtually unexploited. ...
