Deep geothermal energy: How gas bubbles can unlock Earth’s hidden energy – Tech Xplore…

Enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) can tap into Earth's internal heat anywhere on Earth at astonishing depths of up to 15 kilometers, where temperatures exceed 400°C (752°F)... #geothermalenergy #EGS #greentechnology #engineering

Meta's AI is so power-hungry it's literally tapping Earth's core for energy 🌋 Their new 150MW geothermal deal with XGS Energy will power New Mexico data centers using hot underground rocks and a closed-loop water system. Finally, an energy source as deep as their algorithms!

hardware.slashdot.orgMeta Inks a New Geothermal Energy Deal To Support AI - SlashdotMeta has struck a new deal with geothermal startup XGS Energy to supply 150 megawatts of carbon-free electricity for its New Mexico data center. "Advances in AI require continued energy to support infrastructure development," Urvi Parekh, global head of energy at Meta, said in a press release. "With...

There's a big if but a rich payoff, if the bet is good.

"Enhanced Geothermal Systems Electric-Resource Assessment for the Great Basin, Southwestern United States, Burns et al., US. Geological Survey

The authors conducted a provisional assessment of the geothermal-electric resources associated with high-temperature, low-permeability rock formations of the Great Basin, Southwestern United States. If sufficient technological advances to commercialize enhanced geothermal systems occur, then a current best provisional estimate for electric-power generation capacity of 135 gigawatts electric are available from the upper 6 kilometers of the Earth’s crust. This estimate is a potential substantial increase of the installed geothermal electricity-generating capacity from <1 to 10 percent of current total U.S. power production capacity."

EPFL engineers have examined the use of geothermal energy in two very different applications: a metro station and an underground data center. The works had a focus on the internal airflow conditions of these structures and possible optimization of the mechanical ventilation. Each case presents its own set of challenges. actu.epfl.ch/news/epfl-enginee #civilengineering #energy #geothermalenergy
