Quaise Energy has been dazzling us lately with its bleeding-edge plans to tap super-deep, superheated steam as a global power source. Now, the company's reaching back over a century to adapt yesterday's technology for tomorrow's energy.Continue ReadingCategory: Energy, TechnologyTags: Geothermal, Renewable Energy, Clean Energy
MIT spin-off Quaise is trying to use hijacked fusion technology to drill some of the deepest holes in history, unlocking clean, virtually limitless, supercritical geothermal energy that can re-power fossil-fueled power plants all over the world. But how does it work? And are they even close to realizing their vision?Continue ReadingCategory: Energy, TechnologyTags: Geothermal, Renewable Energy, C
Lithium-ion batteries power everything from our vape pens to electric cars, but they have one glaring issue: they rely on lots of hard-to-harvest lithium. A new reactor from Rice University is set to make the whole process easier and safer.Continue ReadingCategory: Energy, TechnologyTags: Lithium-ion, Battery Technology, Batteries, Geothermal, Rice University
The prospect of virtually unlimited clean geothermal power is now substantially brighter. EPFL’s Laboratory of Experimental Rock Mechanics (LEMR) has shown that the semi-plastic, gooey rock at supercritical depths can still be fractured to let water through.Continue ReadingCategory: Energy, TechnologyTags: EPFL, Geothermal, Clean Energy, Renewable Energy
the sustainability strategy of the residence supports heating, cooling, potable water supply, and irrigation needs.  The post eco-friendly cork envelops geothermal stealth house by dotn in greece appeared first on designboom | architecture & design magazine.
Supercritical geothermal power holds the promise of meeting humanity's energy needs for millions of years, but how practical is it? A new analysis by Karthik Subramanian of Lux Research suggests that it may lie somewhere between improbable and impossible.Continue ReadingCategory: Energy, ScienceTags: Geothermal, Power, Heating
Just a year ago, Fervo Energy successfully demonstrated the effectiveness of its horizontally oriented geothermal system. Now the company has landed a massive contract for providing its clean, virtually endless power to the California grid.Continue ReadingCategory: Energy, ScienceTags: Geothermal, Power Stations, Power, Green+Energy, Clean Energy, Alternative Energy
The Krafla Magma Testbed (KMT) "has the potential to be for geoscientists what the Large Hadron Collider has been for particle physicists." So say researchers working on the project to drill straight into a magma chamber to explore massive geothermal power.Continue ReadingCategory: Energy, ScienceTags: Geothermal, Clean Energy, Iceland, Alternative Energy, Green+Energy, Geology
A new simulation video from Herrenknecht AG shows off its Urban Vibro Trucks. The machines can deploy thumping devices from their mid-sections that send seismic waves beneath city landscapes to explore the terrain for geothermal development.Continue ReadingCategory: Energy, ScienceTags: Geothermal, Truck, Geology, Seismic
A potentially game-changing and largely unexplored energy jackpot lies beneath the ocean floor, according to a whitepaper from geoscience tech consultancy CGG. Unique conditions under the sea bed promise cheaper and more accessible geothermal power.Continue ReadingCategory: Energy, ScienceTags: Geothermal, Renewable Energy, Clean Energy, Energy, Ocean
