Promoting Geothermal as Base Load is Becoming Off Base
After years of citing its advantage as a base load resource, geothermal power advocates must take a new tact in promoting the advantages of...
Elysian Fields as Elysian Sewers: Paris and Its Geothermal Potential
The past, present and future of Paris are closely tied to the city's underground. The sewers network that today serves as the shooting ground for movies, could be used to harness hydrokinetic and geothermal energy.
MIT Scientists Scavenging the Power of Volcanoes… Safely, They Say
An MIT report submitted to the DOE forwards the idea of scavenging the power of volcanoes for electricity, safely. In short, they want to...
Development of Philippines Geothermal Energy, Helped by NZ Scientists

Unused Old Mines Could Be Used as Geothermal Power Sources
Geothermal energy has a lot of potential worldwide. As it is not dependent on many factors, geothermal energy could be the cleanest power source of near future. Two scientists from University of Oviedo, Spain, have concluded that geothermal energy could be provided by mine shafts.
Earthquake-Free Geothermal Drilling Technology Proposed by GTherm
Earthquakes are a serious drawback and side effect of geothermal drilling and that could be damaging to the industry, especially after Japan's nuclear experience. GTherm, a Connecticut-based company founded in 2008, thinks they can overcome the issue through their proprietary geothermal extraction process that doesn't involve fracturing rock, which is apparently causing the quakes.
Vulcanol – Synthetic Fuel Made From Carbon Dioxide and Volcano Power
Synthetic fuels could serve as viable replacements for common fuels, if only they could be made more economical.
Carbon Recycling International (CRI) may have found...
New Technology Extracts Lithium from Geothermal Waste Water
The new technique developed by California-based Simbol Mining could make geothermal wells even more valuable. Extracting lithium with old technologies has up to now been considered impractical.
US Geothermal Power Capacity Increased by 147 MW in 2012
Of the various forms of green energy, geothermal power is the least popular when compared to solar and wind. For example, with the wind...
