Central America's Plans to Extract Geothermal Energy From Its Unique Volcanoes
eing gifted with many active volcanoes, Central America wants to tap them for producing green energy which will cut its dependence on oil imports and also help reduce the CO2 emissions.
Bali Governor Refuses Geothermal Project On Island, Quoting Religious Beliefs
Geothermal wells can offer tremendous energy quantities, yet there are people who, in the name of their religious beliefs, think geothermal as something evil and contrary to their lifestyle. Such a statement comes from Bali governor Made Mangku Pastika.
Greenfire Energy Replaces Water With CO2 for Geothermal Extraction
Greenfire Energy stands to prove us how good projects, as long as they're really good, will stand out and receive funding. This project will get $2 million in funding for replacing water with CO2 in the process of extracting geothermal energy.
High Efficiency/Low Temperature Geothermal System Implemented in Utah
Geothermal energy is considered to be the ultimate energy source in terms of reliability. Since it doesn't depend on day or night, or other external factor, it is practically undisturbable and has a huge potential.
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...
Unxepected Discovery Proves Magma More Potent Than Geothermal Reservoirs
Scientific breakthroughs have been known to come by accident, not necessarily after a nice, long study: look at Newton's apple! This is roughly what happened at the Krafla volcano in Iceland: instead of testing geothermal energy harvesting, the team of researchers discovered the amazing power of magma.
Researchers Create Fresh Water from Geothermal Energy
One of the key challenges in our brave new world is creating a sustainable water supply for the ever growing global population – a...
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.
Hawaii Extending Geothermal Industry
Hawaii is set on becoming more than just "the" touristic destination – the Hawaii Electric Light Company (HELCO) is putting in an effort to...
Only 2% of US Geothermal Energy Needed to Supply 2500x Power Demand
Unlike solar and wind powers, geothermal power is cost-effective and a reliable source, 24/7 whole year round at a consistent and predictable rate. What’s...
