Accelerating Energy Transition: France Simplifies Geothermal Mining Procedures By: Robert Buluma In a bold move to expedite France's energy transition and bolster its supply security, Bruno Le Maire and Roland Lescure unveiled groundbreaking measures on April 12th, aimed at simplifying mining procedures. These measures are poised to pave the way for crucial projects vital to both energy transition and supply security. France boasts a rich subsoil teeming with essential resources pivotal for successful energy transition endeavors, such as geothermal energy, lithium, and copper. However, the exploitation of these resources has been hampered by lengthy bureaucratic procedures.  Unlocking Geothermal Potential: Geothermal energy, a renewable and carbon-neutral energy source, harnesses the thermal energy from the Earth's subterranean depths and aquifers. With 90% of the national territory suitable for geothermal exploitation, it stands as a prime candidate for scaling up renewable en

Powering the Future: Star Energy Group Bold Move Towards Geothermal Energy By: Robert Buluma In a groundbreaking move towards sustainable energy, Star Energy Group (AIM: STAR) has just announced the closing of a new €25 million secured facility with Kommunalkredit Austria AG (Kommunalkredit). This financial boost marks a significant step in Star Energy's transition strategy, particularly focusing on geothermal energy while maintaining investments in conventional oil and gas businesses. Chris Hopkinson, the CEO of Star Energy expressed his excitement, stating, "Securing this facility is an important milestone for Star Energy. It allows us to use cashflows from our existing oil and gas business to optimize near-term conventional production and deliver our transition strategy; namely developing and monetizing our geothermal business in both the UK and Croatia." Evidently,Oil and gas companies have been going Geothermal and Today we've found a new neighbor What makes th

Unlocking Earth's Secret Power: Exploring the Potential of Geothermal Energy By: Robert Buluma In a world where the energy transition is gaining momentum, the quest for sustainable alternatives to fossil fuels has never been more crucial. Among the myriad of emerging solutions, one often overlooked yet immensely promising avenue is geothermal energy. This underdog in the renewables arena holds the key to unlocking Earth's secret power, and even industry giants like  Exxon are beginning to take notice. In an exclusive interview with Axios, Exxon CEO Darren Woods revealed the company's keen interest in the progression of geothermal technology. While  Exxon isn't currently actively pursuing geothermal ventures, Woods emphasized the potential alignment and synergies between geothermal energy and the company's existing expertise. With a cautious yet watchful eye,  Exxon recognizes the possibility of integrating geothermal energy into its portfolio, provided the right
