When you think of Singapore, what comes to mind? Skyscrapers. Tech. Food. Green innovation. But now, add one more surprising trait to the list: geothermal powerhouse . By:  Robert Buluma That’s right beneath the city-state’s highly urbanized northern district lies a blazing opportunity that could redefine Singapore’s energy story. In a recent announcement that’s set the clean energy world abuzz, scientists from NTU Singapore and TUMCREATE revealed astonishing findings from a joint geothermal drilling project. At just 1.76 km underground in Sembawang , temperatures have soared to a jaw-dropping 122°C —a record-breaker for the region, and far higher than the 70°C earlier recorded at a shallower depth in Admiralty. This isn't just hot news. It’s a revolutionary discovery that could reshape how one of the world's most densely populated nations powers its future. 🌋 A Hidden Furnace Below the Urban Jungle This project—backed by Singapore’s National Research Foundation (NRF) and th...

June 1, 2025, Houston – In a groundbreaking leap toward energy sustainability, two industry giants  Halliburton and GeoFrame Energy  have officially teamed up to unlock the untapped potential of green lithium extraction from geothermal brine in East Texas' Smackover Formation . This is not just another contract. It is a technological pivot and a symbol of energy transformation , blending geothermal expertise, innovative Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE), and a vision of clean energy independence for the United States. ⚙️ A Lithium Revolution Buried Beneath Our Feet Under this contract, Halliburton will design and construct the first phase of demonstration wells , laying the groundwork for a major lithium production project. Work begins in late 2025 , and this could mark a seismic shift in America’s push for domestic battery-grade lithium carbonate . Why is this so crucial? Because lithium is the heartbeat of clean tech — powering electric vehicles, grid-scale batteries,...
