Vallourec + XGS Energy : The Tubular Alliance That Could Turn Next-Gen Geothermal Into a 3-GW Reality Across the Western U.S. By: Robert Buluma Image:Vallourec-XGS Alliance Unlocks 3-GW Geothermal Buildout in Western US There are moments in the energy transition when a “press release” quietly reveals something far bigger than a partnership. It reveals a  supply chain war being won before the market even realizes the battle has begun. On January 28, 2026, Vallourec one of the world’s most dominant names in premium tubular solutions—announced a strategic supply chain partnership with XGS Energy, the next-generation geothermal developer building what may become one of the most aggressive geothermal project pipelines in North America: a 3-gigawatt commercial pipeline across the western United States. And this isn’t a distant dream. This is happening now—because XGS is preparing to begin construction this year on its headline project: a 150 MW geothermal facility in New Mexico backed ...

UK’s Deepest Geothermal Heating System Goes Live: Scunthorpe General Hospital Leads NHS Net-Zero Revolution with CeraPhi Energy’s 550m CeraPhiWell™ Project By:  Robert Buluma December 2025 – In a landmark moment for British clean energy and healthcare decarbonisation, CeraPhi Energy has begun installing the UK’s deepest closed-loop geothermal heat systems at Scunthorpe General Hospital, part of the Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust. The project, which started in October 2025 and is on track for completion by February 2026, repurposes an existing 550-metre borehole into a revolutionary CeraPhiWell™ system that will deliver continuous, low-carbon baseload heat to the entire hospital campus. Why This Project Matters for UK Geothermal Energy Geothermal energy has long been seen as the “missing piece” in the UK’s net-zero puzzle. While wind and solar dominate renewable headlines, they are intermittent. Hospitals, however, need 24/7 reliable heat – exactly what deep ...
