“In DAC, it’s still very much an evolving field, and so I think it’s a very different landscape for universities to play a much more active role,” said Joseph Hezir, who served as chief financial officer and a senior adviser in Obama’s DOE. “Hydrogen hubs or industrial decarbonization, those programs are much more targeted to large established ...
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 ...
We were early to see how technology could be used to pivot into geothermal projects and solve the historical issues that the industry faced, once and for all. ...
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? Traditionally, drilling for geothermal has been slow, risky and costly, which has meant that ...
Not necessarily just our fluid hammer percussion, but percussion drilling as a whole. The geothermal industry is really waking up to percussion drilling and its benefits. ...
We’ve identified the issues raised by ultra deep geothermal drilling, and set out to solve them through game changing technology. ...
The next challenge is to change the mindset of the industry. There are two main drilling techniques used around the world today for geothermal projects. ...
We need a stable, constant energy source that doesn’t harm our planet. Geothermal energy generation is clean, renewable and cost-effective over the long term, and the world has vast, untapped geothermal resources. ...
The Geothermal Resource Council (GRC) workshop on “New Frontiers in EGS* Technology” was a great success. ...
Project Details New Central High School Geothermal Heat Pump System Contractor: Morrison Inc. Location York, PA Products Used Geothermal Grout The new 230,982ft2 facility for New Central York High School is relying on a renewable energygeothermal heat pump system to provide low energy consumption space conditioning for many years into the future. Studies show that ...

Since the early twentieth century, geothermal energy has been used to produce electricity. In the 1980’s and 90’s, rapid expansion in the demand for geothermal energy put pressure on suppliers to reduce costs and increase efficiencies. ...
This project aims to bring cutting-edge green energy technology to the forefront of the geothermal industry. The Davenport Newberry Holdings leases are underlain by a large, conductive thermal anomaly. ...
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. ...
Crews from Terrex Spatial explore, map and survey remote regions across Australia for the company’s clients in the oil and gas, coal seam gas, shale gas, geothermal, coal and minerals industries. To guide its operations, Terrex Spatial relies on the Algiz 10X rugged tablet PC — the best solution available to support mapping and paperless field ...
According to the EIA, under current policies geothermal generation is projected to increase much more quickly than total electricity demand, with an annual growth rate of 4.3 percent between 2011 and 2035.1 Legislation and government incentives may help jump-start the expansion of the geothermal industry. ...
But a new law passed by the government in late August 2014 should help move industry activity in that direction: it increases the per-kilowatt-hour purchase price guaranteed to geothermal producers and ends geothermal power’s classification as mining activity. ...
At the conference I saw many interesting solutions to an array of problems within the industry. I also saw that the new direction of geothermal research is most prominently Engineered Geothermal Systems (EGS). ...
Yet the same argument could easily be made about solar photovoltaic panels. So why is geothermal an also ran technology?One problem, according to the DOE, is that the heat pump industry needs to collect and disseminate more solid data on heat pumps. ...
At a time when major US companies are announcing job layoffs almost daily, the renewable energy industry is hiring new workers every day to build wind farms, install rooftop solar arrays, and build solar thermal and geothermal power plants. The output of industrial firms that manufacture the equipment for these energy facilities is expanding by ...
Suddenly this too is changing. Some 96 geothermal power plants now under development in twelve western states are expected to double U.S. geothermal generating capacity. ...
