Google, in its quest for sustainability, has collaborated with Fervo, a clean-energy startup, to launch a novel geothermal power project in Nevada. This initiative, operational since 2021, marks a significant stride in Google’s goal to transition to 24/7 carbon-free energy (CFE) by 2030​​​​. This geothermal project, employing enhanced techniques, taps into the Earth’s crust for consistent heat, avoiding fossil fuels and atmospheric carbon emissions. It complements other renewable sources like solar and wind, edging closer to continuous CFE on the grid. Traditional geothermal technologies are limited to regions with easily accessible underground heat, but Fervo’s approach, using oil and gas … Continue reading Google and Fervo’s Nevada Geothermal Project Sparks a New Renewable Energy Era
