On September 10, 2024, an exciting collaboration kicked off to expand geothermal energy deployment and shape the nation’s future energy landscape. The Geothermal Technologies Office’s (GTO) GEODE initiative, short for Geothermal Energy from Oil and Gas Demonstrated Engineering, will leverage the expertise and experience of the oil and gas sector to boost geothermal energy nationwide.
Backed by $10 million from GTO, the project's phase will lay the groundwork for a comprehensive roadmap to unlock geothermal energy’s potential. Led by Project InnerSpace, GEODE is convening experts from both industries to leverage oil and gas industry know-how for geothermal innovation and identify areas for future GEODE research, pending appropriations.
Project InnerSpace launched the initiative at a two-day event on September 10-11, 2024 in Houston, Texas, joined by GTO. Visit the GEODE website for more about this effort.
GEODE is part of GTO’s Hydrothermal Resources and Enhanced Geothermal Systems programs. Learn more about other GTO initiatives.
