As Europe is facing high electricity costs and energy security issues, there is an economic, environmentally sustainable energy source beneath their feet – persistent Geothermal Energy. In addition to other good prospective locations in Western and Eastern Europe, there are two good basins in Germany – the Upper Rhine Graben […]

La Palma’s recent volcano reminded everyone of the geothermal energies below some volcanic islands. Nearby Tenerife has been explored and identified with geothermal potential. This flyer is about their neighbouring island Gran Canaria and how initial exploration has identified geothermal potential. Repsol recently announced its plans to investigate this potential […]
There are good technologies to capture Carbon and tens of thousands of suitable subsurface locations for Storage. With the continued use of carbon based energy sources and processes during our Energy Transition, we should be rapidly scaling up CCS.
Geothermal Plays have been described, the types and methods of data collection listed, and the way assessments are performed explained. Here are some examples of the various types of Geothermal Plays, their geologic settings, heat sources and transport mechanisms, and their locations.
After identifying the type of Geothermal Play, and performing exploration to obtain data, we would be able to make an Assessment of the potential resource to see if it could be economically developed. With modern technologies and tools, there are tens of thousands of suitable locations available to help access […]
