What’s New in Geothermal?
Season 3
Episode 6
Geothermal energy can be found everywhere below the surface, at varying temperatures, depending on how deep and where you are. We can use it to warm homes and buildings, generate electricity, and hopefully to produce high heat for industrial processes. Lauren Boyd, Acting Director of Geothermal Technologies at the DOE, and Carlos Araque, Co-founder and CEO of Quaise Energy, discuss.
