w88 online casino Talk | Scaling Up Geothermal Power with Modern Exploration Tools
Geothermal energy is the most abundant clean firm energy source on the planet and it’s available now at places where it is needed most. However, the industry has struggled to keep up with surging clean power demand because of several issues rooted in subsurface risk: 1) an insufficient resource pipeline, 2) a human resources bottleneck, and 3) difficulty allocating capital into geothermal exploration and development projects.
This lecture is a view into how Zanskar is tackling these issues using modern generative science and subsurface imaging tools that have helped Zanskar discover more geothermal resources in the last year than the industry had in the prior decade.
