Los Alamos National Laboratory has partnered with Project GeoForce to offer geothermal energy solutions for government use. Through the use of the Geothermal Design Tool (GeoDT) and Fracture Caging technology, the team aims to generate over 25 megawatts at a cost of less than 8 cents per kilowatt-hour from unconventional geothermal resources. This collaboration aims to make affordable and accessible geothermal energy a reality for a wider audience.
Geothermal energy has the potential to provide cost-efficient energy across the country, with only about 0.4% of American energy coming from geothermal sources in 2023. The U.S. Air Force is also collaborating with American companies to build resilient geothermal technologies using private capital, making geothermal energy an integral component of the American energy portfolio.
Los Alamos has a history of advancing geothermal research and development, with the Fenton Hill Observatory project in New Mexico being a notable example. The Project GeoForce team is working to bring geothermal energy into the future, making it accessible, affordable, and customizable for the U.S. market.
Government customers interested in viewing Project GeoForce technology can create a Tradewinds Solutions Marketplace account at tradewindAI.com. With this collaboration, geothermal energy could become a significant source of energy for the United States.
