Data reported in Nature Communications confirm the potential of geothermal’s holy grail: superdeep, superhot rock as an important renewable energy source. HOUSTON, Texas--New laboratory data confirm ...

Fervo Energy partners with Nvidia and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory to develop EGS-Twin, an AI-powered digital twin ...

Geothermal heat is a tantalizing source of energy that’s quite literally right below our feet. At the same time geothermal energy is hard to develop as the Earth’s crust is too thick in most places, ...

A team of EPFL scientists has provided insight into the mechanisms at work in geothermal reservoirs located deep underground, known as supercritical reservoirs. Through a combination of computer ...

Using machine learning, researchers have tied low-magnitude microearthquakes to the permeability of subsurface rocks beneath the Earth, a discovery that could have implications for improving ...

Quaise is taking its technology from the lab to field trials for the first time this year. A beam of energy hit the slab of rock, which quickly began to glow. Pieces cracked off, sparks ricocheted, ...

GEOTHERMAL ENERGY may be approaching its Mitchell moment. George Mitchell, a scrappy independent oilman, is known as the father of fracking. Nearly three decades ago, he defied Big Oil and the ...

Fervo Energy has aptly demonstrated how much of a difference this approach can make to a geothermal plant. But since nobody's ever drilled down that far, science hasn't been able to say whether the ...

The future of clean energy is unfolding on a desert plateau about four hours north-east of Las Vegas. Dotted around the spectacular sands near Milford, Utah, are nearly two dozen wells, each reaching ...

Enhanced Geothermal Systems harness the Earth's internal heat to generate clean, reliable electricity. Unlike wind and solar, EGS provides baseload power, operating continuously regardless of weather ...

When congressional Republicans took a sledgehammer to the Inflation Reduction Act last summer, advanced geothermal startups were largely spared. Drilling for renewable energy appears to be one of the ...

HOUSTON, Texas--New laboratory data confirm the potential for geothermal’s holy grail: tapping into the superhot, superdeep rock miles below our feet, which could create a clean, renewable energy ...
