DOE’s $10.75 Million University Push Could Reshape the Geothermal Talent Pipeline Image: Thematic image of a geothermal power plant The U.S. Department of Energy’s Hydrocarbons and Geothermal Energy Office has announced up to $10.75 million for U.S. colleges and universities to support early-stage research and training in subsurface energy development. The program sits inside the University Training and Research framework, and it is designed to strengthen the next generation of energy professionals while advancing research relevant to geothermal, oil and gas, and coal-related subsurface challenges . This announcement matters because it goes beyond a simple grant call. It connects university research, student training, and industry relevance in one funding structure, which is exactly the kind of model geothermal advocates have long argued is needed to accelerate deployment. For the U.S. geothermal sector, the message is clear: talent development is now part of energy infrastruct...

In a groundbreaking move that promises to reshape the future of clean energy, Teverra, a trailblazer in subsurface energy solutions, has partnered with Dutch powerhouses IF Technology and DTESS to accelerate the global rollout of ResStor™—a revolutionary long-duration energy storage system.
This strategic collaboration aims to push the boundaries of renewable integration, industrial decarbonization, and sustainable data center cooling.
At the core of this initiative is ResStor, Teverra proprietary Reservoir Thermal Energy Storage platform. Capable of storing thermal energy for several months with outstanding efficiency, ResStor is tailored for both seasonal and daily cycling, allowing precise, on-demand delivery of heat or power. This opens the door for consistent, carbon-free energy across sectors, regardless of intermittency in renewable sources like solar or wind.
But the real game-changer lies in Cold-ResStor—a specialized application targeting the data center industry. With global demand for cooling skyrocketing, Cold-ResStor steps in to slash power use by up to 80%, reduce cooling costs by 70%, and cut CO₂ emissions by a staggering 75%. Backed by real-world data from the Netherlands and rigorous U.S. analyses, this tech is ready to go mainstream.
According to Dr. Hamed Soroush, CEO of Teverra, “This partnership with DTESS and IF Technology brings together world-class expertise in underground thermal storage. It’s a crucial step toward global decarbonization—one data center, one building, one city at a time.”
