Summary

The US Department of Energy has announced a total investment of USD 31 million for six projects that aim to advance geothermal energy deployment. Five projects address the need for improved wellbore constructions in enhanced geothermal systems (EGS), while one project seeks to demonstrate the use of reservoir thermal energy storage (RTES) for industrial processes.

Funding for these projects will be under the DOE’s Geothermal Technologies Office in the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy.

The selected wellbore construction projects includes Clemson University to develop an AI-enabled, photoacoustic imaging tool for high-temperature and high-pressure well logging to assess geothermal well integrity without active cooling.
