A couple of days late, but as per usual I wanted to put together a little highlight reel for the geothermal industry in 2024. Caveat, this is selling it incredibly short as there is a character limit on LinkedIn. #geothermal #advancement #technology #innovation #collaboration #investment #sustainability > Fervo Energy displays 70% YoY reduction in drilling times at Cape Station and achieves record flow rates, closed a $244 mm round led by Devon Energy, raised a $100 mm in construction loan from X-Caliber Rural Capital and closes the year with $255 million in additional debt/equity financing > Sage Geosystems Inc. started the year with closing a $17 mm round ed by Chesapeake Energy/Expand Energy and partnered with the San Miguel Electric Co-op to develop ERCOT's first ever geothermal storage project and signed a 150 MW geothermal power agreement with Meta > Project InnerSpace releases GeoMap for North America, Africa, and India, a free tool to help with evaluating/siting potential geothermal projects > Zanskar Geothermal & Minerals, Inc. closed a $30 mm funding round > The Bureau of Land Management has worked on reforming the permitting process for geothermal projects > Multiple bills have been introduced for consideration that will aid in streamlining geothermal development (Geothermal Energy Optimization Act, Supercritical Geothermal Research & Development Act, > Quaise Energy continues to move forward with their cutting edge technology with a $21mm Series A1 round > XGS Energy secured an additional $9.7mm in funding > The International Energy Agency (IEA) released their report detailing how geothermal and the next generation technologies can change the energy landscape as we know it > Colombia awards the first ever license to develop a geothermal project to Parex Resources > Microsoft and G42 announce the plans to build a geothermal powered data center in Kenya > Colorado governor, Jared Polis announced a $7.7 million grant to be spread amongst 35 various projects aimed at advancing geothermal within the state > GA Drilling entered into a technical cooperation program with Petrobras > Baseload Capital closed a $53mm Series B round > Earth's Energy in Australia is exploring geothermal powered data centers > Dandelion Energy released their new revolutionary geothermal heat pump > The United States Air Force is doubling down on geothermal, contracting with Sage Geosystems Inc., GreenFire Energy Inc and Fervo Energy > Gradient Geothermal partners with Chord Energy to develop geothermal energy in their assets > Exceed Geo Energy partners with Austin Energy to pilot a 5MW geothermal project > TerraThermo Limited and Eden GeoPower partner on a project to deploy Eden's stimulation technology > SOCAR Green signs deals with SLB and Baker Hughes to explore geothermal potential in Azerbaijan > Vulcan Energy enters an agreement with BASF to supply geothermal heat for a plant in Germany > Hephae Energy Technology raises an additional $4mm
