Researchers created a model to reduce the risk of seismic activity at geothermal facilities, and other projects that mess with subsurface pressure.

The study examines the potential of geothermal energy – the natural heat simmering beneath the Earth’s surface – as a major power source. While the US already uses geothermal energy, it ...

Meta signed an agreement with XGS Energy to help develop 150 megawatts of advanced geothermal electricity in New Mexico to ...

Maria Juliana Pinzon/CPR Hotspots is a new series from CPR’s climate team looking at communities leading Colorado’s push for geothermal energy.

Thousands were evacuated from the Icelandic fishing village of Grindavík ahead of the eruption. Maps break down what happened and what's to come.

GEOTHERMAL ENERGY may be approaching its Mitchell moment. George Mitchell, a scrappy independent oilman, is known as the father of fracking. Nearly three decades ago, he defied Big Oil and the ...

Drilling for geothermal energy can create some of the same problems as drilling for gas: sucking up water and causing earthquakes.

A rare earthquake in South Korea was triggered by the country's first experimental geothermal power plant, a team of government-commissioned experts said Wednesday.

Geothermal power in 2015 fueled 27% of the electricity in Iceland, which sits on one of the world’s most active volcanic zones. In 2022, it generated about 5% of the electricity in California.

Researchers created a model to reduce the risk of seismic activity at geothermal facilities, and other projects that mess with subsurface pressure. Alberta’s subsurface zone is getting a little ...
