Studies show that a diverse portfolio of zero-carbon resources will be … [continued]
Lesser Known Than Some of Its Renewable Energy Cousins, Geothermal Energy Is Now on the Rise Thanks to Its Ability To Provide 24/7 Power, Heat, Cooling, Critical Minerals, and More Geothermal energy — literally “heat from the Earth” — may be hard to see, but thanks to increasing public interest … [continued]
Fervo Energy will build a direct air capture demonstration plant to test its geothermal and carbon removal technology.
Listen in to CleanTechnica’s most recent webinar, during which we demystified 2023 global energy trends. Last year, world leaders gathered at COP26 to set targets for decarbonizing the global economy and the table was set for the energy transition. What are experts in the industry saying about this transition in … [continued]
Pilot Projects Will Work to Scale EGS, and Help Provide Renewable Geothermal Energy to over 65 Million American Homes WASHINGTON, D.C. — The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today announced a funding opportunity of up to $74 million for up to seven pilot projects that will test the efficacy and … [continued]
Due to the rise in electricity generated from wind and solar, 20% of electricity net generation in the US came from renewable sources in 2021. Electricity generated from wind surpassed hydroelectric in 2019 as the predominant renewable source. Electricity generated from solar began a steep rise beginning in 2012 and … [continued]
One of the big criticisms anti-EV people try to level against cleaner vehicles is the environmental costs of production. In many cases, it’s a disingenuous claim to make, because they don’t really care about the environment to begin with, but when raised sincerely, it’s still widely taken out of context. … [continued]
Fire of Love explores the infinite power of geothermal energy through the lens of two 20th-century volcano scientists who plied their trade without the benefit of drones and other new technology.
Kenya Electricity Generating Company PLC (KenGen) has an installed generation capacity of 1,904 MW, of which over 86% is drawn from green sources, namely: hydro (826 MW), geothermal (799 MW), and wind (25.5 MW). The rest (253 MW), is generated from fossil fuels at its thermal power plants. KenGen is … [continued]
