ElectraTherm (ET) would use U.S. Department of Energy grant funds to analyze, design, test, optimize, build, install, run and report results from its micro-geothermal plant running on heat co-produced in geothermal fluid at a mining operation. Laboratory work would occur at ET's headquarters in Reno, Nevada. Field portions of the project would occur at the Florida Canyon Mine located 40 miles southwest of Winnemucca, Nevada.
