Could volcanic ash be the future of solar energy storage? Researchers at the Universitat de Barcelona have discovered its potential to revolutionize renewable energy systems. By enhancing thermal conductivity and stability, volcanic ash could offer a cost-effective and eco-friendly alternative to molten salts in concentrated solar power plants. How could this change the game for energy storage and sustainability? #RenewableEnergy #Innovation #SolarPower

#Geothermal energy is often thought of as a resource primarily for select locations lucky enough to have suitable groundwater and large temperature gradients. But wide varieties of advanced technologies are spreading the benefits of this uninterruptible, renewable resource to many other settings and applications. Sid Fowler, Clarence Tolliver and I explore the state of the industry and some legal insights in this new paper! https://lnkd.in/dp5BxxQ4

Diverso Energy cracks the code for geothermal energy in #construction. https://lnkd.in/en-3MtvN #Toronto #development #GTA #sustainability

💡 Geothermal energy, also known as earth heat, is a proven, clean, and renewable powerhouse that delivers continuous baseload power, emitting minimal to zero pollutants. ♻️ Its small environmental footprint per unit output makes it a green champion in energy solutions. For geothermal magic to happen, we need three ingredients: essential heat, a rock formation that can transfer that heat, and a medium (usually water) to bring this underground heat to the surface. DEEP Earth Energy is on a mission to expand to additional power sites, actively seeking additional project areas and exploring partnerships with companies holding oil and gas leases, along with freehold land. Together, we're driving the future of sustainable energy! https://deepcorp.ca/ #geothermalenergy #renewableenergy #cleanenergy #geothermalcanada #geothermal

Over 200 stakeholders call for a European geothermal strategy and action plan to be prioritized by the European Commission. NiMBUC Geoscience actively supports this initiative and signed the letter to the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen. The letter called for: * A target of 250GW of geothermal energy by 2040 (heating and cooling, electricity generation) * Harmonization and development of new support schemes * endorsement of the Geothermal Industrial Alliance * Accessibility of energy demand and geological data * Skilling workers, municipal network planners and permitting agencies * Strengthening innovation and leadership of the EU domestic manufacturing industry Check out the link below for more details #energy #transition #geothermal

Exciting developments in the geothermal energy sector! ♨ In January, the European Parliament adopted a resolution for a comprehensive geothermal energy strategy. The resolution focuses on: -Mapping geothermal assets -Creating an industrial alliance -Implementing a harmonized insurance scheme Despite challenges like limited knowledge, financial and technical barriers, and fragmented regulations, this initiative aims to streamline resource mapping and reduce investment risks.

🤩Over 200 stakeholders across the value chain of the geothermal sector, government agencies, municipalities, consumers, academia, researchers, think-tanks and civil society called on the European Commission to prepare a European geothermal energy strategy and action plan today.  #Geothermal is our energy! Geothermal is a vital renewable energy solution for Europe that provides baseload renewable #electricity, #heating, and #cooling.  The stakeholders called for:   ✅A target of 250 GWs of geothermal energy by 2040 in electricity; heating and cooling (district heating and cooling systems, networked geothermal and standalone geothermal heat pumps); for use in public, residential and commercial buildings; agriculture; electricity generation, transport and manufacturing sectors;  ✅Harmonisation and development of new support schemes, including cross-border financial risk guarantees;  ✅Endorsement of the Geothermal Industrial Alliance; ✅Accessibility of energy demand and geological data;  ✅Skilling workers, municipal network planners and permitting agencies; ✅Strengthening innovation and leadership of the EU domestic manufacturing industry. 👉Read the full letter here: https://lnkd.in/eVGjx9di Maroš Šefčovič | Kadri Simson | Elisa Ferreira | Thierry Breton | Janusz Wojciechowski | Wopke Hoekstra | Iliana Ivanova | Ilze Johnson | European Commission | European Parliament #GeothermalNOW #Energy #EUElections2024 #climatechange #UseYourVote #WorldEnvironmentDay 

Geothermal energy is a key renewable resource for heating, cooling, electricity generation, and cost-effective energy storage. #Austria, #Croatia, #France, #Germany, #Hungary, #Ireland, and #Poland have already developed national geothermal roadmaps to encourage investment and expand their industrial sectors. We at Well Guidance are ready for the challenge with our expertise, rugged equipment and go get it attitude. Bring on the future, bring on reliable renewable energy and let's make the world just that little bit better, together. #EGEC #EU #EuropeanCommission #EuropeanUnion #RenewableEnergy #Renewables #LoveGeothermal #Geothermal #GeothermalEnergy #Geothermie #Energiewende #géothermie #energisingthetransition #EnergyTransition #energietransitie #DirectionalDrilling #DirectionalDrillingServices #WellGuided #WellPlanned #WellExecuted #WellGuidance #TeamWorkMakesTheDreamWork

Happy to be part of this important initiative🙌 Geothermal energy is crucial for the European energy transition as it provides a stable, low-carbon power source that can reduce dependency on fossil fuels and enhance energy security. #geothermal #energytransition #heating #cooling
