>>Researchers at the University of Oklahoma have been investigating whether they can produce geothermal energy from retired oil and gas wells with the help of a federal grant. Geothermal uses Earth's natural subsurface heat to produce energy. It can produce electricity with steam rising from deep below ground or use fluid pumped from the formations to heat nearby buildings.<<

#Geothermal Milestone: New Thermal Water Well Nears Completion Near #Munich

Energy independence is drawing closer for the #Olching region as drilling in Geiselbullach hits the 1,780-meter mark. Targeting a depth of 2,100 meters, engineers are on the verge of tapping into 73-degree thermal water to power a sustainable district heating network.

In 2024, EU Fossil Gas consumption was at 332 BCM. Russia supplied 15.6% of it (51.7 BCM) and the USA supplied 13.6% (45.1 BCM). #Europe would need to cut its Fossil Gas consumption by 29.2% to attain #EnergySecurity for Fossil Gas.

#WindPower, #EnergyStorage and #Geothermal #Energy (whether it's Geothermal Power or Geothermal Heat Pumps for heating and cooling) present the arguments for reducing Fossil Gas consumption.

#KnowledgeByte: Hot #Rock #Geothermal #Energy is a natural system that generates heat energy. It's created by the presence of hot rocks, fluid underground, and permeability.

#Google's data centers in Nevada are powered by a geothermal power plant that uses hot rocks.
