"Of the 3,000 marked geothermal wells and springs, three geothermal power plants in Utah produce 73 megawatts of power, which can provide power to about 73,000 homes. The goal of the new well in Milford is to test new technology to make geothermal an even better option for sustainable, green energy."
Solar Power Booms in Texas
“It is part of a growing number of solar projects in sunny, land-rich Texas, where experts long predicted solar farms would bloom. Solar-farm development in Texas is expected to accelerate in the coming years as generation costs fall and power demand grows. That growth puts it on track to claim a much larger share of a power market dominated by wind farms and natural-gas power plants.”
Innovative Carbon Capture Solutions Proposed To Help Achieve Net-Zero World
“More than 30 commercial facilities have been announced across the world in the last three years. Potential investment in CCUS projects is estimated at around $27 billion, more than double the level of investment planned in 2017."
Small Nuclear Reactors Would Provide Carbon-Free Energy, but Would They Be Safe?
"For one thing, each modular reactor can be switched on and off flexibly, meaning that the reactors can be paired as an energy source with the intermittent power generation of renewables like solar and wind, he said.”
Invenergy Announces 1.3GW Series of Solar Projects in Texas
“The greatest portion of Samson’s power output will go to telecommunications giant AT&T, which has signed a power-purchase agreement for 500 megawatts of capacity — a record purchase for the United States in the commercial and industrial domain."
U.S. nuclear power industry group sees reprocessing as potential waste fix
“The head of the top U.S. nuclear power group said that reprocessing of nuclear waste, a technique that has not been practiced in the United States for decades because of proliferation and cost concerns, could help address a growing problem building up at nuclear plants across the country.”
Form Energy Raises Another $70M for Long-Duration Storage
Although Form Energy hasn’t named all of its investors, the newly raised $70 million brings the total raised for energy storage to $120 million.
Why NASA wants to put a nuclear power plant on the moon
“Nuclear energy has always been a very clean form of energy and extremely effective,” he said. “Realistically, it will be pivotal to deep space exploration, and more importantly, to humanity becoming a multi-planetary species. This new dawn of space exploration will see a resurgence in the nuclear industry until the next form of efficient, clean energy is discovered.”
At $16 Billion, Australian Solar Project Would Be Biggest In The World
“This project would combine the world’s largest solar farm, the largest battery, and longest undersea electricity cable. The 10 gigawatt (GW) solar farm would cover 30,000 acres in Australia’s sunny Northern Territory. That is about the equivalent of 9 million rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) panels. The solar farm would be paired with a 30 gigawatt-hour (GWh) battery storage facility to enable round-the-clock dispatch of renewable power.”
APS Taps Wind to Deliver Clean Energy to its Customers
"'Renewable energy resources like this wind power are important to a diverse and increasingly clean energy mix for Arizona,' says Brad Albert, vice president of resource management at APS. 'By working with supplier partners like Leeward, APS is advancing toward our target of having 45% of our generation portfolio in renewable energy by 2030 on the path to 100% clean energy by 2050.'"
