July 7, 2022The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide funding to University of Nevada, Reno (UNR) to reduce the exploration risk for hidden geothermal systems in the Great Basin Region (GBR). This would be accomplished by quantifying resource potential, uncertainty, and degree of exploration at several geothermal prospects in the GBR and by developing new geothermal favorability maps, data products, software tools, and a geothermal developers’ playbook that integrates the project findings and facilitates easy access for external stakeholders.
