What is the energy transition, and why should you care? As society is actively making goals to shift away from carbon-intensive processes--such as combusting coal and gas for power and heat-use production--a need for more clean and reliable power and heating/cooling production is emerging. Wind, solar, and other renewable energy sources can generate emission-free power for our grid, but these clean energy resources are intermittent in their supply and therefore cannot be solely relied on for a baseload (constant) supply of energy like coal and gas. Because of this, the industry should focus on utilizing conventional geothermal and industrial waste-heat to provide a baseload resource for reliable emission-free power and heating/cooling projects. Conventional geothermal energy projects rely on drilling multiple miles into the earth (anywhere from 1 to 4 miles) where high-temperature geothermal brine (greater than 70 F) is produced to surface.
