Lithium de France, a subsidiary of Arverne Group, has signed an agreement ✍️ with SLB for its ♨️ geothermal heat and 🔋Lithium project in Alsace, France 🇫🇷. This project plans to achieve an annual production capacity of 27,000 tons lithium carbonate and 2.2 TWh of geothermal heat. 🙌 Read mor here ➡️: https://lnkd.in/dg6Uzqez #France #Geothermie #Geothermal #LithiumExtraction #DistrictHeating #RenewableEnergy

The infographic below is a good illustration of the difference between current (conventional) hydrothermal systems and superhot rock geothermal. Next-generation geothermal (EGS and AGS) is basically the same as superhot rock geothermal, except that it doesn't go down to such depths.

A new bipartisan bill in the US seeks to establish and support a framework for research and testing of supercritical geothermal technologies. 🙌 Supercritical geothermal ♨, sometimes referred to as superhot rock energy, is a category of enhanced geothermal systems that requires deep drilling technologies to access dry rocks at temperatures around 400°C or greater, that can supply about five to ten times more energy per well 👏 compared to conventional hydrothermal systems. 👀 Read more here ➡️: https://lnkd.in/dvBnWN4z #US #Geothermal #GeothermalDevelopment #Technology #SuperHotGeothermal #Legislation

Synergies between Geological Hydrogen and Geothermal Energy There exists a convergence of known geothermal resources and also known hydrogen observations in specific geologic settings. These tend to be volcanic, magmatic and hydrothermal settings, and in these settings there is no shortage of natural occurring processes that are capable of generating hydrogen. Most of these processes involve iron containing minerals in contact with water at elevated temperatures, typically above 200 degrees C and there is a significant amount of alignment in terms of the critical factors necessary for geothermal (hydrothermal), and geologic hydrogen resources.  Essentially what it comes down to it, it's water-rock interaction over a period of time that is then coupled with a potential for fluid entrapment and preservation, and at high temperature. That is the key for geologic hydrogen resources, and in turn these are also factors that converge in the formation hydrothermal aquifers.  In nature hydrothermal aquifers and geologic hydrogen, are commonly bridged. Geologic hydrogen has the potential for increasing the value of a geothermal project.  Hydrogen will play a critical role going forward to meet goals for Net Zero and there are clearly extensive synergies between geologic hydrogen and geothermal resources. #geologichydrogen #naturalhydrogen #geothermal #geothermalenergy #drilling #oilandgas #sustainablearth https://lnkd.in/ddvMefPG

We're proud to participate in the 2024 Geothermal, Lithium, Hydrogen: New Energy from Subsurface Fluids Conference, June 6-7 in Houston, sponsored by the American Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG) and Geothermal Rising. This event will bring together technical experts in #geothermal, lithium, geologic hydrogen, helium, and iodine. Vallourec® New Energies' Heather Byers will be moderating a panel on "Exploration for Geological Hydrogen and Helium." If you're curious about the investment potential of #geological hydrogen compared to #green hydrogen, plus the research and timeframe for its adoption in the USA, don't miss this panel session. Learn more about which type of companies and expertise will lead the drilling for geological #hydrogen. #vallourec #cleanenergy

Geothermal development in the Latin America & Caribbean (LAC) region has been intermittent, with spurs of development happening in specific periods such as in the mid-1980s, the late 1990s, and the first decade of the 2000s. Installed capacity has increased gradually but far from the scale hoped for by governments and the industry. Shown below are the annual installed geothermal power capacity additions in the LAC region per year since 1975, with highlights on the first plants for each country. Want to learn more about trends and the current status of geothermal power in the LAC region? Keep an eye out for a whitepaper that we will be releasing very soon. 👀 #GEOLAC2024 #geotermia #geothermal #geothermaleveryday #geothermalnews

A new study 💡, “Permeability partitioning through the brittle-to-ductile transition and its implications for supercritical geothermal reservoirs” by Meyer et al, indicates that fractures can be created beyond the brittle-ductile transition, making important implications relevant to superhot rock geothermal ♨️. This guest article by Elizabeth Thomson, correspondent for Quaise Energy, discusses the implications of the results of this study in terms of challenging long-standing beliefs on permeability and what this means for the utilization of superhot rock geothermal energy. 🙌 Read more here ➡️: https://lnkd.in/dM3hjmVB #Geothermal #GeothermalDevelopment #SuperHotRock #Reservoir #Research #Sustainability
