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 ...
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 ...
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. This project will not only prove the feasibility of using TEG materials with a geothermal resource but ...
Nevada Geothermal Power Inc. (Vancouver, B.C.) and Ormat Nevada Inc., a subsidiary of Ormat Technologies Inc. (Reno, NV), have signed an agreement under which the two companies will jointly develop, construct, own, and operate one or more geothermal power plants at the Crump Geyser Project Area in Lake County, Oregon. The agreement calls for the formation of a limited liability company, Crump ...
Department of Energy estimates that with emerging low-temperature technologies, at least 260,000 megawatts of U.S. geothermal resources could be developed. A study led by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology indicates that an investment of roughly $1 billion in geothermal research and development over 15 ...
