Researchers are exploring how to pair geothermal with oil and gas sites and use captured carbon dioxide as a feedstock for power production. Geothermal companies and scientists have looked for years ...

The heat is on to launch a project that could lead to large-scale extraction of geothermal heat, a stable and abundant energy source located a mile-and-a-half underground. Increased access to and ...

The potential solution for abundant and clean energy could be right under our feet—or more specifically, beneath the Earth’s surface. Geothermal power has long been the forgotten sibling among ...

Deep beneath Utah’s desert soil, an oil drill bored through the Earth at a blistering pace earlier this spring. Gnarly looking drill bits tore through granite at around 300 feet per hour. It was done ...

Imagine a power plant fueled by heat generated deep beneath your feet, silently providing renewable energy day and night, independent of weather or sunlight. Enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) promise ...

Oil and gas isn’t the only source of energy lurking under our feet. Drill deep enough and Earth’s temperature stays consistent enough that it can be a source of heating and cooling for homes, offices, ...

In a shifting global geostrategic landscape, the dual challenges of rising electricity demand and intensifying energy security imperatives highlight the need for efficient, resilient, and affordable ...

An unlikely partnership between a utility company and climate activists managed to convert a community to geothermal heating and cooling. Science correspondent Miles O'Brien reports on this project ...

The U.S. Bureau of Land Management has recently leased out more than 5,000 acres of public land for geothermal energy in Malheur County. Leasing of the land is the first step in developing geothermal ...

Nothing on the surface of this scrubby expanse of western Nevada desert, overlooked by towering, craggy mountains, gives even a hint of what lies beneath. But a few thousand feet underground is a ...

Zanskar uses AI to identify hidden geothermal systems—and claims it has found one that could fuel a power plant, the first such discovery by industry in decades. A geothermal startup said Thursday ...
