For those more familiar with conventional oil & gas resources, it is convenient to make a comparison showing similarities and differences: Oil & Gas Geothermal Energy Source Rock – fine-grained sediments with sufficient amounts of organic matter, which generate and release hydrocarbons able to migrate upwards;Fluids – hydrocarbon oil & […]

Most people understand the electrical energy historically produced by large hydropower dams. There are however multiple types of flowing water that have the ability to drive turbines to produce electricity from generators. Over the past millennium water has been used to turn wheels to grind grain and then to power […]
Wave and Tidal Stream Energy is a significant source of Renewable Energy for the Energy Transition. It is estimated that ~1-10 terawatts of wave energy impacts our coastlines. The ocean contains a lot of energy in waves and tidal streams. Depending on exact location, the intermittency may be reduced compared […]
Geothermal energy is literally under our feet in varying amounts everywhere. It is renewable in the sense that the Earth produces it with internal thermal processes not associated with Man and it is naturally replenished – but it is up to us to access it efficiently and as cleanly as […]
