$14.2 Million Announced Subsequently by US DOE For Enhanced Geothermal Pilot Projects

Unleashing the Power Beneath: The Second-Round EGS Pilot Demonstrations By:  Robert Buluma image: wells of power at Kenyan Geothermal Field gushing steam Geothermal energy is a game-changer in the quest for sustainable and reliable energy sources. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is pushing the boundaries of this potential through its Geothermal Technologies Office (GTO). With the second round of funding opportunities for Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) pilot demonstrations, authorized under President Biden's Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the future of geothermal energy looks brighter than ever. This initiative aims to catapult EGS into the mainstream, contributing significantly to the goal of a carbon pollution-free electricity system by 2035.  What Are Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS)? Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) represent a cutting-edge approach to geothermal energy. Unlike traditional geothermal systems that rely on naturally occurring hydrothermal resources, EGS c

XGS Raises $20 Million For US Geothermal Pilot Project

"Revolutionizing Energy: The Geothermal Breakthrough Shaking Up California" By : Robert Buluma In the sun-drenched landscapes of California, where solar panels gleam and wind turbines dance, a quiet revolution is underway, and it's not fueled by rays or gusts—it's powered by the Earth itself. Meet  XGS Energy, a trailblazing geothermal technology company on the brink of changing the energy game as we know it. With a recent infusion of USD 20 million in funding, they're poised to unleash their groundbreaking Thermal Reach Enhancement (TRE) technology onto the world stage, starting with a pioneering project right here in the Golden State. Imagine a future where clean, renewable energy flows effortlessly, not just when the sun shines or the wind blows, but around the clock, rain or shine. That's the promise of XGS ' innovative approach, tapping into the Earth's natural heat reservoirs to deliver a consistent, carbon-free energy supply. But this isn'
