After reviewing basic design options, the next steps for potential geothermal designers are to challenge the common concerns and myths, study how different choices have different cost impacts, and be ...

A Tulsa-based energy company says a new technology could help unlock more geothermal power by changing how wells are drilled and how heat is pulled from underground.

Researchers have used computer models of closed-loop geothermal systems to determine if they would be economically viable sources of renewable energy. They found that the cost of drilling would need ...

A once-overlooked technology that taps into the Earth's heat to generate electricity could supply up to 20% of the electricity in the United States by 2050, according to a new Princeton analysis.

A case study from Iceland shows how IoT pressure monitoring can support remote oversight of geothermal district heating infrastructure.

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Ian writes on fossil energies, climate, and transition to renewables. The US Department of Energy (DOE) has funded a project ...

Renewable energy comes down from the sky. Turbines capture the power of the wind, and solar panels collect the sun’s rays. It can be found on the Earth’s surface, in the form of water from rivers and ...

Geothermal systems take advantage of the earth’s temperature to heat your water, warm your home in winter and cool it off in the summer. The energy-saving and sustainability benefits of geothermal ...

25% of the energy produced worldwide is used directly for cooling and heating homes. As climate shifts and increases in income are surging demand for cooling and heating solutions, we are collectively ...

Several nations lead among countries with geothermal power, harnessing Earth's heat to generate reliable electricity. See the ...

In a gift that supports basic research toward a clean geothermal resource that could transform the world’s energy transition, ...
