DOE announced the finalists in the $4 million American-Made Geothermal Lithium Extraction Prize, a competition supporting innovations that help lower the costs and reduce the environmental impacts of extracting lithium from geothermal brines
The Geothermal Technologies Office’s largest initiative, the Utah Frontier Observatory for Research in Geothermal Energy (FORGE), has kicked off its first portfolio of research and development projects following Solicitation 2020-1.
Geothermal energy has been largely inaccessible, but that will soon change, thanks to researchers in Utah who have injected fluid into hot rocks underground.
DOE Announces Winners of the 2022 Geothermal Collegiate Competition
The Geothermal Technologies Office has launched a new prize to fast-track innovation in seismic sensors in support of enhanced geothermal systems.
A key step to unlocking the full potential of geothermal—one of the most dependable forms of renewable energy—may lie inside millions of American oil and gas wells
GTO Funds Berkeley Lab in Partnership with UC Riverside to Assess and Characterize Lithium Resources
Researchers on a new GTO-funded project seek to determine whether the Salton Sea geothermal field in California potentially holds enough lithium to meet all of America’s domestic battery needs, perhaps even with enough for export as well.
The Geothermal Technologies Office's (GTO) Multi-Year Program Plan (MYPP) shares how GTO will support the rapid acceleration in the advancement and deployment of geothermal technology across 2022-2026.
Renewable energy projects can’t get off the ground without power purchase agreements (PPAs), so when a new geothermal PPA gets signed, a geothermal star is born. Learn more about PPAs in this three-part blog series.
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today announced up to $20 million in funding to lower the cost of developing geothermal energy by demonstrating faster drilling technologies to shorten the time it takes to develop projects overall.
