Turkish Company Begins Exploitation of 60MW Geothermal Field
The group already owns a 17.4 MW plant on a field where it has operating rights since September last year, so this new geothermal field can bring them a total of 77.4MW of power.
Indonesia Planning to Get Another 4,000 MW from Volcanic Geothermal Plants by 2014
Indonesia, the world's third greenhouse gas contributor, wants to diversify its clean energy production potential by using the active volcanoes in the archipelago of 17,000 islands. If finished, this would be the world's biggest geothermal energy project, adding another 4,000 MegaWatts of geothermal capacity to the existing 1,189 MW... all of this by 2014.
Renewable Energy from Volcanoes to Power Island of St. Lucia
According to a new study, the Caribbean islands represent one of the perfect location for the development of renewable energy.
Geothermal Efficiency Boosted Up to 30% by Newly Discovered Liquid
Scientists from the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in Richland, WA, announce they developed a new type of heat extracting liquid that could absorb much better the heat coming from the hot water in the geothermal wells.
Earthquakes: The Other Side of Drilling for Geothermal Power
Geothermal technology surely is one of the cleanest technologies available to us, extracting clean heat from the hot underground. This energy source is often seen as inexhaustible, and its benefits seem to outweight its weak points. For decades, geothermal companies have been drilling into Earth's crust at depths of over 4-5km.
Development of Philippines Geothermal Energy, Helped by NZ Scientists
Among the renewable energy industries in the Philippines, geothermal energy is the one able to keep on expanding. What’s more, it ranks second among...
How Old Oil Wells Could Become Geothermal Energy Sources
One of the main costs when harvesting geothermal energy is the digging itself. Just like oil wells, geothermal wells have to be several kilometers...
Siemens Designs New 60 MW Steam Turbine for Geothermal Applications
