Geothermal energy
Students and young professionals are invited to participate in this year's datathon which focuses on 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.
