Another potential location for accessing Geothermal Energy is Subduction Zones associated with Volcanic Arc Geology. Hydrothermal and/or petrothermal reservoirs are possible to be exploited for significant enthalpy with production and injection wells. Volatile fluid release from subducted crust includes carbon components from organic matter, carbonates, water and hydrous materials. These […]

Geothermal energy is able to be captured from several types of subsurface locations. One such location is Hydrothermal Reservoirs which may have been found during conventional oil & gas exploration and development. These heated aquifers are able to be utilised by repurposing some wells and/or drilling new wells for fluid […]
Not every location has sufficient solar radiation (e.g. due to pervasive cloudiness) or wind energy (e.g. “Doldrums”) for these intermittent renewables. Some locations have geothermal energy resources, but other tropical coastal and island nations are not so fortunate. An alternative source of renewable energy is OTEC, taking advantage of the […]
As people become more familiar with Geothermal Energy, they will realise that there are thousands of potential locations to extract this energy from the Earth. One type of location is at tectonic plate boundaries as discussed below.For collaboration or enquiries, contact us@stellaeenergy.com #geothermalenergy is a persistent #renewableenergy that is economic and supports #environmentalsustainability A good […]
Deep below the surface of the Earth there are tremendous heat flow energies revealed by deep mantle upwellings. As technology (computing and software) has advanced, imaging has improved to reveal massive structures well correlated with tectonic theories. Look at the structures below the Western Tropical Pacific and Africa – both […]
With an increased focus on the Energy Transition, the oil and gas industry has been considering what is possible with regards to more efficient, sustainable, and clean energy for production facilities such as Floating Production Storage and Offload (FPSO) vessels. There are a number of steps which can be done […]
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 […]
What does the Energy Transition have to do with Clean Water and Improved Sanitation? Not everyone is as aware as they should be of the challenges many people face in the developing world to have access to clean water and improved sanitation. Many people take these services for granted, not […]
Australia is a large country with vast distances between remote communities and national grids. There is a shortage of long-distance electricity transmission lines, so these remote communities have had to rely on Distributed Power Generation which was historically Coal, Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO), or Diesel powered. With the Energy Transition, […]
