DOE awards $43m for geothermal R&D

The US Department of Energy has awarded up to $43.1 million to 21 groups for improving geothermal energy systems.

The awards, given to groups of universities, companies and government entities, are part of the $90 million the department has allocated for geothermal research and development over the next four years (see DOE lines up $90m for geothermal research).

Seventeen of the awards are for research and development covering reservoir creation, management and use at temperatures up to 300° Celsius and depths to 10,000 meters. The other four awards are for demonstrating ways to improve existing geothermal installations.
