El Niño is coming. Brock Yordy explains the impacts on groundwater, drilling job sites, and global water infrastructure.

This is another signal that geothermal is trying to move into a different phase. Less experimental, more repeatable.

The company’s first commercial-scale Eavor-Loop is now operating in Geretsried, Germany. This marks a key milestone as it looks to prove the concept at scale.

A pair of state grants is set to give a boost to geothermal workforce training in Massachusetts, with the Geothermal Drillers Association (GDA) and the Home Energy Efficiency Team (HEET) teaming up to expand access to the field. 

This project is particularly notable because it ties carbon storage to ethanol production—an industry already widespread in the Midwest.

This project also taps into an existing advantage: thousands of oil and gas wells that could potentially be repurposed. 

High costs, crowding and less-than-ideal land conditions make geothermal installations in downstate New York difficult—but not impossible.

The SDWA directs the EPA to establish requirements that states, territories, and authorized tribes must meet to be granted primary enforcement responsibility or “primacy” for a UIC program.

The market for thermal energy networks is expanding rapidly, driven by decarbonization mandates, infrastructure investment, and innovative financing models.
