Unleashing Superhot Geothermal Energy: Revolutionizing Renewable Power Generation

Heating Things Up: Superhot Rock Research Unlocking Geothermal Potential By: Robert Buluma Image: This stones, the tranchyte family ...magical when underneath In the shadow of Oregon's Newberry Volcano, a groundbreaking venture is reshaping the future of renewable energy. With heat trapped deep within the Earth's crust, superhot rock geothermal resources offer an extraordinary opportunity to redefine how we produce electricity. The Geothermal Technologies Office (GTO), with the support of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), is at the forefront of this transformation, aiming to harness the immense potential of superhot geothermal systems.   Earlier on we had reported on how Mazama Energy had received funding from US Department of Energy  , This funding had streched into Fervo Energy and Chevron New Energies.  Why Superhot Rocks Matter Did you know that just 1% of the U.S.'s superhot rock geothermal potential could produce 4.3 terawatts of electricity—nearly four ...
