Geothermal power used to be limited to volcanic areas. But advances in exploration and drilling technology mean huge new ...

Amazon is backing 700 MW of new carbon-free generation and storage in Nevada to support future data center operations in the Reno area, including a 20-year geothermal power purchase agreement that ...

Fervo Energy, which uses drilling techniques from the oil and gas industry to produce power from the earth’s heat, raised $1.9 billion in an initial public offering. By Ivan Penn and Brad Plumer For ...

Harnessing the power of just one per cent of superhot rocks could provide more than eight times the current global electricity generation. Deep beneath the Earth’s surface lies an immense source of ...

Several U.S. states are advancing legislation and studies to evaluate whether abandoned oil and gas wells can be converted into geothermal energy sites. Repurposing orphan wells could reduce methane ...

A new wave of start-ups are trying to harvest emissions-free energy from inside the Earth, but the industry still faces significant challenges. In this edition, we’ll explain why zero-emissions ...

Fervo Energy, the geothermal energy startup, saw its market valuation surpass $10 billion in its public market debut, an increase driven by demand for AI data centers — and the energy that can power ...

Idaho’s latest rush for gold is a race for hot rock to power our lives. The Idaho Gold Rush of the 1860s transformed a rugged wilderness and accelerated the creation of the Idaho Territory. In the ...

Energy startups are in demand on the promise that they will deliver power to artificial-intelligence hyperscalers. The mere prospect of doing so at some time in the future is enough to command ...

Kenya is a powerhouse when it comes to geothermal energy. It gets about half of its electricity by harnessing the Earth’s heat. Its neighbors have the same underground resources but almost no ...

The work presents a physics-constrained neural operator framework that rapidly predicts geothermal reservoir and surface performance, enabling efficient technical and economic assessment across ...
