Geothermal energy for a cleaner air in Mongolia

Adrian — Thu, 16 Apr 2020 19:05:22 +0000

Researchers are always restless and must be involved in scientific projects. When these projects are for practical use the obtained effect is twice as strong. Our story starts in December 2018, when in light of the global challenges of finding solutions to vital problems in poor or middle-developed countries, the Swiss at ETH – Swiss […]

Underground mining is a sweaty job, and not just because of the hard work it takes to haul ore: Mining tunnels fill with heat naturally emitted from the surrounding rock. A group of researchers from McGill University in Canada has taken a systematic look at how such heat might be put to use once mines […]

By the time a geothermal energy project at Missouri University of Science and Technology is completed in 2014, the campus’s annual energy use will be cut in half and its carbon footprint reduced by 25,000 metric tons per year. University officials broke ground on the project on Tuesday, April 17, by drilling a hole in […]

Geothermal Energy Under the IEA Magnifier

Adrian — Sat, 18 Jun 2011 06:34:21 +0000

In a recent report the International Energy Agency (IEA) shows how to grow global production of geothermal heat and electricity tenfold by 2050. If their recommendation will be followed the IEA believes that “geothermal energy can account 3.5% of annual global electricity production and 3.9% of energy for heat by 2050.” Geothermal traditional technologies have […]

Magma power for geothermal energy

Gabriel — Sat, 19 Feb 2011 20:47:30 +0000

When a team of scientists drilling near an Icelandic volcano hit magma in 2009, they had to abandon their planned experiments on geothermal energy. But the mishap could point the way to an alternative source of geothermal power. “Because we drilled into magma, this borehole could now be a really high-quality geothermal well,” said Peter […]

Geothermal Energy in the EU’s attention

Gabriel — Fri, 14 Jan 2011 21:29:44 +0000

Geothermal energy has always been used by man, but it wasn’t until the late 19th century that geothermal energy was “rediscovered” and used on an industrial scale. Initially, it was used to produce electricity from steam, and then also came to be exploited for heating. The principle is to use boreholes to access heat in […]
