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...
The geothermal revolution is heating up—and it's not just hot air. Imagine tapping into the Earth's own fiery core to generate clean, reliable power that never stops, day or night, rain or shine. By: Robert Buluma Image: ABB and Fervo Power Up World's Largest Geothermal Project That's no longer a sci-fi dream; it's happening right now in the rugged deserts of Southwest Utah. Fervo Energy , a trailblazing company out of Texas, has teamed up with global electrification giant ABB to bring the Cape Station project online, poised to become the world's largest next-generation geothermal development. Announced on January 28, 2026, this strategic alliance marks a pivotal moment in the clean energy transition. ABB will supply critical medium-voltage electrification and motor control solutions, including high-power motors, drives, generators, switchgear, and prefabricated eHouses. These technologies will power the massive pumps and systems needed to extract heat from dee...
