Energy transition
The Houston-based energy company's first generating unit has begun producing electricity as it works toward a buildout that could eventually power nearly 1 million US homes.
With funding opportunities improving, developers and researchers are focused on shortening project learning cycles and reducing uncertainty to attract more capital and speed deployment.
The US Department of Energy has awarded more than $99 million to 21 projects that will advance geothermal development through field-scale testing of next-generation technologies and exploration drilling programs across the US.

The expanded scope of our evolving industry means that members of the petroleum engineering profession will enjoy a long, rewarding career. At the same time, we will need to continue developing our competencies to enable expected contributions in producing new forms of energy resources.
-
While innovation steadily advances technologies to produce geothermal energy, the determination of clearly defined laws and regulations is playing catch-up—state by state and case by case in courts. And until it does, scaling up of this promising energy source is at risk of being hamstrung.
-
Geothermal energy’s advantages make it popular across multiple sectors, from residential to industrial applications. Primary applications, namely electricity, direct use, and ground source heat pumps, offer diverse energy sources. Details of these and some unconventional applications are discussed.
-
Advantages for conversion of nonactive oil and gas wells to geothermal wells include deferred plugging and abandonment costs, safety and environmental concerns, and potential energy production.
