The Geothermal Technologies Program

The Geothermal Technologies Program focuses on developing and advancing geothermal energy, which taps into the Earth's natural heat stored underground. This form of renewable energy can produce electricity and provide direct heating, offering a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels. The program supports research to improve drilling techniques, resource assessment, and technology efficiency, aiming to lower costs and expand the use of geothermal power. Its goal is to make geothermal a reliable, environmentally friendly energy source that contributes to energy security and reduces greenhouse gas emissions.
