Another week, another episode where we dive deep into the possibilities of Geothermal to go beyond just electricity generation. Derek and I discuss the overall landscape of Geothermal and how he believes it is essential in our path to net zero and a more sustainable future. Geothermal played a part very early on in Derek's life with being exposed to neighbors who had geothermal heat pumps in their house, back when it was more of a luxury than commonplace. That is what EarthBridge is hoping to do, bring Geothermal into the limelight by way of low temp geothermal in sedimentary basins, thermal battery in collaboration with solar teams, CCUS + Geothermal, and advanced geothermal to name a few of their initiatives.
"EarthBridge was born out of necessity, happy circumstances and a whole lot of determination." Derek and his team are 100% focused on solving problems, breaking barriers down and bringing Geothermal to the world. EarthBridge is looking into the vast resources of sedimentary Geothermal and into putting smaller dispatchable Organic Rankine Cycle power plants to make Geothermal more felxible. Come long and listen in as Derek and I talk about the journey he is on with EarthBridge Energy and how they plan on making a difference in the energy industry and scaling Geothermal!
