Working in this industry means I continually discover mind-blowing insights… Did you know that geothermal energy is virtually infinite, extremely low in greenhouse gas emissions, and has a relatively small surface footprint?! Mildly put, its potential to positively impact the planet—and the energy industry itself—is staggering. Of course, there are hurdles in scalability and environmental safety if we wish to harness geothermal’s potential (and we do). But they’re not totally unprecedented. In fact, this massive opportunity is 100% attainable with deep investment in new tech and strategic cooperation across our industry globally. So, what is the role of “enhanced” geothermal systems (EGS) in all of this? Benoit Deville, SLB's Tech Development Director for Geothermal, does a good job of explaining it: https://lnkd.in/e8sCKuEY

Here is your daily dose of renewable energy: Frank Shuman was an American inventor and engineer who pioneered solar thermal energy. In the early 20th century, he built one of the first solar thermal power stations, which utilized parabolic troughs to concentrate sunlight and generate steam. Shuman’s work laid the foundation for modern solar thermal energy systems. Follow for more ☀️

Did you know that the Oklahoma State Capitol is a geothermal marvel? This impressive building uses over 600 geothermal heat pumps, making it a leading example of sustainable energy use. Here are some cool facts about geothermal energy technology and its benefits: 1. Efficient Heating and Cooling: Geothermal systems use the stable temperatures underground to heat and cool buildings, providing consistent comfort year-round. 2. Energy Savings: By tapping into the earth's natural heat, geothermal systems can reduce energy consumption by up to 70% compared to conventional HVAC systems. 3. Environmental Impact: Geothermal energy is clean and renewable, significantly lowering greenhouse gas emissions and reducing the building's carbon footprint. 4. Longevity: Geothermal systems are durable and require less maintenance, often lasting 25 years or more for the indoor components and over 50 years for the ground loop. 5. Cost-Effective: While initial installation can be higher, the operational savings and potential incentives make geothermal a smart long-term investment. The Oklahoma State Capitol's commitment to geothermal energy demonstrates a forward-thinking approach to sustainability and energy efficiency. Let's embrace the power of geothermal technology for a greener future! 🌿 Here’s to lobbying and being apart of the change!

St. Paul Public Schools in Minnesota is going all in on geothermal technology to heat and cool its buildings. The system’s well is positioned 300 feet below the school’s baseball field. The geothermal system provides the district an affordable and renewable energy source “by harnessing temperatures below the earth’s surface that remain constantly stable year-round.” The system does not require the use of water and connects 160 wells to seven heat pumps, according to the article, as the heat pumps then connect to a series of white pipes in the basement of the school. Can you guess how much they plan to cut back on gas emmissions in the next 5 years? https://bit.ly/3z6lZQf #geothermal #geothermalenergy #thermalenergy #thermalenergynetworks #heatpumps #heatpumptechnology #greenenergy #cleanenergy #climatechange #sustainable #renewable #alwayson United Association of Union Plumbers, Fitters, Welders and Service Techs IAPMO PHCPPros Building Decarbonization Coalition HEET (Home Energy Efficiency Team) International Ground Source Heat Pump Association Geothermal Rising ThinkGeoEnergy Offshore Network Ltd.
