AltaRock Energy Inc. is a privately held corporation that focuses on the development of geothermal energy resources and enhanced geothermal systems (EGS). It is headquartered in Seattle, Washington and has a technology development office in Sausalito, California. AltaRock has filed patent applications and holds exclusive licenses for related ...
Fervo Energy is an energy resource company focused on harnessing heat through enhanced geothermal systems (EGS). It was co-founded in 2017 by Tim Latimer, a mechanical engineer who worked as a drilling engineer at BHP until 2015.
Some subsurface water associated with geothermal sources contains high concentrations of toxic elements such as boron, lead, and arsenic. Injection of water in enhanced geothermal systems may induce seismicity. Earthquakes at the Geysers geothermal field in California, the largest being Richter magnitude 4.6, have been linked to injected water ...
Using drilling and fracking techniques developed by the oil and gas industry, Fervo Energy is now constructing a 400-megawatt enhanced geothermal power plant at Cape Station in Utah.
The Eavor-Loop™, or a closed-loop system, differentiates Eavor’s technology from conventional or Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS). This closed-loop acts as a subsurface reverse radiator, where a working fluid circulates through a series of multilateral wellbores and extracts heat from hot rock via conduction. The system brings thermal ...
In this piece, we will take a look at the ten biggest geothermal companies in the world. For more companies, head on over to 5 Biggest Geothermal Companies in the World. The energy industry is all ...
Getting electrons onto the grid for the first time is a milestone many new energy companies never reach, said Tim Latimer, CEO and co-founder of Google's geothermal partner in the project, Houston ...
Quaise, Inc was founded in 2018 to develop a millimeter-wave drilling system for converting existing power stations to use superdeep geothermal energy. [1] The system would repurpose existing gyrotron technology to drill 20 kilometers beneath the surface, where temperatures exceed 400°C.
