Teverra awarded statewide Geothermal Study

Unveiling Colorado's Geothermal Potential: Teverra Awarded Statewide Study

Colorado, renowned for its stunning landscapes and progressive energy initiatives, is now embarking on a new frontier in renewable energy exploration. With a rich history in mining and hydrocarbon production, alongside recent strides in wind and solar power, Colorado is now turning its attention to geothermal energy. Teverra, a pioneering clean energy company based in Atlanta, has been awarded a groundbreaking contract by the Colorado Energy and Carbon Management Commission (ECMC) to conduct a comprehensive geothermal evaluation across the state.

Exploring Geothermal Opportunities:

The initiative aims to assess and quantify Colorado's geothermal resources, leveraging Teverra's expertise in subsurface solutions and advanced geomechanics. Joseph Batir, Geothermal Lead at Teverra, expresses enthusiasm for the project, emphasizing its potential to contribute to Colorado's energy legacy while advancing decarbonization efforts. The study will encompass a wide range of applications, including electricity production, direct use, and geothermal heat pump installations.

Collaborative Efforts:

In collaboration with the Colorado Geological Survey, Teverra will compile existing knowledge of geothermal resources and evaluate the feasibility of commercial geothermal utilization technologies. The partnership underscores the state's commitment to fostering innovation and sustainability in its energy sector. By leveraging local expertise and cutting-edge technology, the project aims to unlock the full potential of Colorado's geothermal resources.

Unlocking Economic Potential:

One of the key objectives of the study is to identify pathways for economic development through geothermal energy. With numerous sedimentary basins and hot springs scattered across the state, Colorado presents promising opportunities for geothermal exploration and development. By repurposing existing infrastructure and deploying advanced drilling techniques, Teverra seeks to optimize resource extraction and maximize energy output.

Towards a Sustainable Future:

As the global community strives to combat climate change and transition towards a sustainable energy future, initiatives like the statewide geothermal study in Colorado are critical. By harnessing the Earth's natural heat, geothermal energy offers a reliable and renewable source of power with minimal environmental impact. Colorado's commitment to exploring this untapped resource reflects its dedication to innovation, environmental stewardship, and energy resilience.

With Teverra at the helm, Colorado is poised to unlock its geothermal potential and pave the way for a cleaner, more sustainable future. Through collaborative research and strategic partnerships, the state aims to harness the power of geothermal energy to meet its energy needs while reducing carbon emissions. As the project unfolds, it will not only shape Colorado's energy landscape but also inspire other regions to embrace the transformative potential of geothermal energy.

Polands Geothermal Wells hits 5km depth Eyeing a 7Km Threshold

Geothermal Milestone Reached: Banska PGP-4 Well in Szaflary, Poland Hits 5-Kilometer Depth By : Robert Buluma In a significant development for geothermal energy enthusiasts, drilling operations at the Banska PGP-4 well in Szaflary, Poland have reached a depth of 5 kilometers, marking a major milestone in the project's progress towards its 7-kilometer target. Since its inception, the ambitious geothermal drilling project in Szaflary has been making steady strides. As of the end of 2023, the well has successfully reached a depth of 5000 meters, uncovering promising results along the way. Notably, the well has tapped into a sizable reservoir boasting temperatures of 120 °C. The drilling will persist until it reaches the targeted depth of 7000 meters, where another aquifer is anticipated. The entire drilling endeavor is slated for completion within the first quarter of 2024. Initiated in 2019, the plans to drill a 7-kilometer geothermal well in Podhale, Szaflary aimed at gathering cruc
