Geothermal energy
Switching from continuous circulation to cyclic huff-‘n’-puff operation in enhanced geothermal systems can significantly delay thermal breakthrough, sustain higher production temperatures, and improve long-term economic performance.
From Washington to Rhode Island, college campuses are tapping into geothermal energy to heat and cool new construction projects.
University of Colorado Boulder researchers will combine tools, such as power systems modeling, spatial statistics, and GIS mapping along with community forums, surveys, and interviews to capture both the human and technical sides of geothermal development.
