Energy transition
The NLR has released its 2025 US Geothermal Market Report, documenting 4 years of industry growth and providing policymakers and stakeholders with an updated overview of the US geothermal market.
The report says the capacity of renewables in the region is set to grow tenfold by 2040 as electricity demand and new sectors drive rapid solar and wind expansion.
This study identifies critical knowledge gaps in wellbore integrity and underscores areas that require further investigation, providing insights into how wellbores must evolve to meet the technical demands of the energy transition.
