Scalable geothermal energy
Permitting and transmission-connection hurdles face renewable developers broadly. Raising money to gain expertise and moving systems to a commercial stage is also challenging. With geothermal energy, the potential rewards are…
Eavor is producing clean electricity
Western Canada’s foremost energy journalist has provided information about Eavor’s geothermal project in Bavaria. If the subject interests you, be sure to follow Markham Hislop at Energi Media. It is…
Terawatts of clean energy
American company Quaise Energy is developing a new way to access the largest untapped energy source available. It will use established production methods of the fossil fuel industry, but the…
The heat beneath our feet
After writing about geothermal energy, I made a remark on Facebook regarding a Western Canadian company having to go to Bavaria to launch its first commercial clean energy project. I…
Geothermal, ever present energy
Months ago, I wrote Geothermal — clean, non-destructive renewable energy. It was about Calgary-based Eavor and the company's use of unique drilling technology to realize geothermal energy. I have followed…
Geothermal — clean, non-destructive renewable energy
Traditional geothermal failed to produce clean heat and electricity for the people of the German town of Geretsried. But now Calgary's Eavor Technologies, using directional deep drilling technologies developed in…
Geothermal energy now!
The International Energy Agency involves 32 member nations and 17 other associates. Together, these countries are responsible for about three-quarters of global energy consumption and almost 90 percent of clean…
Geothermal: unlimited, affordable, on-demand renewable energy
A decade ago, the Union of Concerned Scientists published a paper "How Geothermal Energy Works." It reported that the heat within 10,000 meters of the Earth's surface offers 50,000 times…
Condos Looking to the Ground for Energy
When you think about geothermal power you may think of giant installations benefiting from the heat the earth produces; however much smaller geothermal setups exist. These smaller systems are often…
Heating Homes
Canada has a huge house heating issue. We burn a lot of fossil gas to heat homes. There are solutions, but we’ll have to implement them faster than the market…
International Leaders of Geothermal Energy Agree to Work Together
Geothermal energy is very simple in principal: drill a hole into the hot earth and use the naturally occurring heat to get turbines spinning. In practice it can be very…
