Harnessing low temperature geothermal fields in the urban area of Reykjavík, SW-Iceland: tackling challenges with 3D modelling
Since the 1930s the utilisation of low temperature geothermal fields in Iceland has greatly improved the inhabitants’ life quality and completely transformed capital city. The
Geothermal’s untapped potential to shape New Zealand’s energy sector
Geothermal has the potential to play an even more significant role in New Zealand’s energy mix, but these major projects require large infrastructure investment.
How high to find the wind?
Is there a limit to where you can place a turbine, and does it even need its feet on the ground? Plus four other renewable
Geothermal energy has huge promise, but it can keep that promise well concealed. There is a way to draw a clearer picture
Can one end-to-end solution solve all the problems geothermal projects encounter, and defuse the complexity that sometimes plagues them? Jonathon Clearwater, Technical Domain Expert, Reservoir
After a tough 2023, where is the good news for the offshore wind industry in 2024?
We’ve already reported on the UK’s decision to hike what it will pay offshore wind farms for electricity – a recognition of the soaring costs
Smaller is better if you know the subsurface well enough
Has a fear of the unknown on ground conditions intimidated the offshore wind industry into spending more than it needs to? Not anymore. Sean Goodman
Solar and wind are not the only runners in the race to green energy. Hydrogen also has a particular job to do, and problem to solve.
Hydrogen can play a key role in the chase to net zero. But the process of tweaking its ‘colour’ (from the less sustainable ‘grey’ to
Moving geothermal energy on to the next phase of its success
The practical challenges of geothermal energy cannot be underestimated, but its achievements have also been remarkable. Better communication between teams and across scientific disciplines could
