COWI and Sinotech Team Up on Taiwan’s Super-Hot Geothermal Potential Taiwan’s geothermal story is moving from possibility to execution, and the COWI-Sinotech collaboration is a sign that the sector is entering a more serious phase of development. The partnership is focused on unlocking super-hot geothermal resources, which could improve project economics and expand the country’s clean-energy options. Introduction Geothermal has long been one of Taiwan’s most intriguing renewable resources because the island sits on active tectonic terrain with strong heat potential. What has held the sector back is not a lack of heat, but the difficulty of converting that heat into bankable projects at scale. The new collaboration between COWI and Sinotech points to a more technical, internationally connected approach to solving that problem. Why Taiwan Matters Taiwan has ambitious decarbonization goals, and geothermal fits neatly into the need for firm, low-carbon power. Unlike solar and wind, geother...
Mexico’s Energy Reform: A Climate Scientist’s Vision for Geothermal and Renewables By: Robert Buluma The president of Mexico Mexico is on the brink of a transformative energy shift under the leadership of President Claudia Sheinbaum, a renowned climate scientist. Her administration has introduced an ambitious energy reform aimed at redefining the country’s approach to power generation, prioritizing energy sovereignty, sustainability, and an accelerated transition to renewable sources particularly geothermal energy. France also is amongst the many countries which have taken a leap to revamp their Geothermal A Reform to Reshape Mexico’s Energy Landscape The initiative, presented to the Senate, seeks to restructure the Federal Electricity Commission (CFE), Petróleos Mexicanos (PEMEX), and other key energy institutions. The goal is clear: to ensure Mexico’s energy security while reducing reliance on fossil fuels by expanding investment in cleaner, more sustainable sources like geothermal p...
