ALPHAXIOMS Geothermal News & Energy Research

Geothermal power is a renewable energy source that has been gaining traction in recent years as a viable alternative to traditional fossil fuels. Geothermal power is generated by tapping into the Earth's natural heat, which is produced by the decay of radioactive isotopes and the residual heat from the planet's formation. This energy source has several advantages over other forms of renewable energy, which we will explore in this article. (source: unsplash.com,Sam Bark) First, geothermal power is a consistent and reliable source of energy. Unlike solar and wind power, which are dependent on weather conditions and time of day, geothermal power can be produced 24/7. This makes it an ideal source of baseload power, which is the minimum amount of power needed to meet the constant demand for electricity. Second, geothermal power is environmentally friendly. Unlike traditional fossil fuels, geothermal power does not emit greenhouse gases or other harmful pollutants. This makes it a c...

The intermunicipal feasibility study "Heat from Deep Geothermal Energy for District Heating in Düsseldorf and Duisburg" is a major step forward for the two cities towards the energy transition. The study examines the geological conditions at depth, identifies possible locations for test drilling, and evaluates the technical and economic feasibility of expanding the district heating network. (Source: City Works Duisburg) Since Thursday, citizens can find information about the project on the website www.geothermie-rhein.de. The development of climate-friendly, weather-independent, and regional energy sources is one of the biggest challenges for cities and municipalities. The state government of North Rhine-Westphalia has therefore already decided on March 20, 2019 to promote geothermal energy to advance the energy transition. The cities of Duisburg and Düsseldorf, in particular, benefit from this state parliament resolution in the Rhine-Ruhr region. In a joint feasibility study...

 Discover Indonesia's Leading Green Energy Company: Pertamina Geothermal Energy The Lumut Balai geothermal power plant of Pertamina Geothermal Energy. Pertamina Geothermal Energy (PGE) is the driving force behind Indonesia's geothermal energy industry. With thirteen work areas across the country, PGE currently produces an impressive 1877 MW of geothermal power, making it a prominent player in the green energy sector. PGE operates six solely owned geothermal plants and has interests in four other plants under joint-operating contracts. As part of its ambitious expansion plans, PGE aims to increase its own power generation capacity to 1540 MW by 2030, which would help reduce 9 million tons of CO2 emissions annually. To support its vision of becoming a world-class green energy producer, PGE is planning an initial public offering (IPO) in the first quarter of 2023, with the potential to raise 500 million USD of new equity capital. PGE has several exciting projects in the pipeline, ...

Get ready for a glimpse into the latest developments of one of the most significant energy projects in the US! Southern Company's CEO, Tom Fanning, announced that the schedules for Vogtle units 3 and 4 have been adjusted to allow for any unexpected issues. Construction work at the Vogtle site, pictured in January (Image: Georgia Power) Unit 3 is now expected to enter service in May or June, while unit 4 will be operational by the end of this year or early 2024. But it hasn't been a smooth ride, as vibrations in the cooling system caused delays in the criticality process of unit 3. However, Fanning assures investors that the issues have been remediated, and the testing has resumed. But that's not all! Southern Company is determined to deliver optimal performance and reduce risks associated with any potential issues that may arise. So, extra time has been added to the schedule to address these matters. Metal plates have been inserted into struts connected to the pipe to fix t...
