Energy transition
The company’s millimeter wave drilling system is approaching a depth of 1 km at its Central Texas site. The recent funding is earmarked for Project Obsidian in Central Oregon, which Quaise calls the world’s first commercial superhot geothermal power plant.
The US federal government is working to stymie offshore wind power, but proponents aren’t going quietly. Armed with data, they are taking on a sea of misinformation and hostility to defend the burgeoning resource in the US, while the rest of the world moves ahead briskly.
This paper explores the development of direct-lithium-extraction technologies designed to recover lithium from unconventional feedstocks.
