US DOE Articulates $31M in EGS and Low Temperature Geothermal Projects

"Empowering Geothermal Innovation: $31M Funding Opportunity to Drive Sustainable Energy Solutions" The U.S. Department of Energy's Geothermal Technologies Office (GTO) has opened a remarkable funding opportunity, offering up to $31 million to support groundbreaking projects in the field of geothermal energy. This initiative, announced on January 30, 2024, aligns with the Biden-Harris Administration's commitment to achieving carbon pollution-free electricity by 2035 and a net-zero-emissions economy by 2050. Unleashing Potential with Two Dynamic Topic Areas Topic Area 1: Revolutionizing Downhole Tools The first topic area, with a generous funding of up to $23.1 million, targets projects that address downhole cement and casing evaluation tools. These tools play a pivotal role in high-temperature and hostile geothermal wellbores, essential for enhanced geothermal systems (EGS). Current off-the-shelf solutions cater to the oil and gas industry's upper temperature needs
