Google, Microsoft and Nucor To Fast Track Advanced Geothermal,

Revolutionizing Energy: A Collaborative Journey Towards Advanced Clean Electricity

By:Robert Buluma

In a groundbreaking alliance, tech titans  Google and Microsoft , along with steel giant Nucor Corporation , have embarked on a mission to reshape the landscape of electricity generation. The trio is not merely envisioning a cleaner future but actively spearheading initiatives to accelerate the development and adoption of advanced clean electricity technologies.

At the core of this ambitious endeavor lies a profound understanding: the transition to a sustainable energy future demands more than just conventional renewables like wind and solar. To effectively combat climate change and meet the soaring global energy demand, a diverse portfolio of cutting-edge solutions is imperative. This is where advanced clean electricity technologies come into play.

The International Energy Agency (IEA) underscores the critical role of these technologies in decarbonizing grids and ensuring energy security. Yet, their path to widespread adoption is riddled with challenges, primarily stemming from the inherent risks associated with early-stage projects.

Enter Google , Microsoft , and Nucor Corporation determined to tackle these obstacles head-on. By leveraging their collective influence and expertise, they are forging new pathways to finance and procure advanced clean electricity projects. Through innovative business models and demand aggregation, they aim to de-risk investments for utilities and developers, thus catalyzing the transition to a carbon-free energy landscape.

But what exactly constitutes "advanced clean electricity technologies"? Think next-generation geothermal, clean hydrogen, advanced nuclear, and long-duration energy storage systems—innovations that promise to revolutionize the way we generate and consume energy.

The collaborative efforts of these industry giants extend beyond mere procurement. They are committed to fostering an ecosystem conducive to the growth of these technologies. This involves advocating for supportive policies, engaging stakeholders, and developing tariff structures that incentivize clean energy investments.

The impact of this initiative transcends individual companies' sustainability goals. While Google aims for net-zero emissions and 24/7 carbon-free energy by 2030, Microsoft is charting a course towards carbon negativity and zero waste by the same year. Nucor Corporation , as a leading steelmaker, is aligning itself with global efforts for carbon-free energy.

The timeline is set, the criteria established, and the call to action resounds loud and clear. From technology providers to developers, the invitation is open to all who dare to innovate and contribute to a cleaner, brighter future.

As we navigate the complex terrain of energy transition, one thing remains certain: collaboration is key. Together, Google , Microsoft , and Nucor Corporation are not just shaping the future of electricity—they're illuminating the path towards a sustainable tomorrow for generations to come. Join the revolution. The time for change is now.

Some of the Advanced Geothermal were already captured by Alphaxioms, whilst Geological Geothermal Hydrogen could be the next shrewed in this case.

Pertamina Geothermal Energy,GDC and AGIL to develop 200 MW Suswa ,Narok Geothermal Field

Pertamina Geothermal Energy, GDC, and AGIL Agree to Accelerate Development of 2 Geothermal Fields in Kenya By: Robert Buluma Nairobi, Kenya, March 8, 2024 – PT Pertamina Geothermal Energy Tbk (PGE) has reached an agreement with Kenya's geothermal development companies, Geothermal Development Company Ltd. (GDC), and Africa Geothermal International Ltd. (AGIL), to expedite the development of geothermal fields in the African nation. Exploration of two geothermal fields in Kenya, developed by PGE along with its partners, is expected to commence in 2024. In high-level discussions held at GDC's headquarters in Nairobi on Wednesday (3/6/2024), PGE and GDC discussed the support from the Kenyan government in accelerating the geothermal field development project in Suswa, a volcanic area located in Narok, Kenya. GDC is a government-owned geothermal developer in Kenya. The PGE delegation, led by President Director Julfi Hadi and accompanied by PGE's Director of Exploration and Develop

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

Eavor Goes Deeper in Geretesried In Search For Geothermal

Revolutionizing Energy Production: The Birth of Eavor Technology in Geretesried By: Robert Buluma In the picturesque town of Geretesried, nestled in the heart of Germany, a groundbreaking project is underway that promises to reshape the future of energy production as we know it.
