[center]Geo Exchange [/center]
Geo Exchange is a system of heating and cooling that uses water
and ground loops to use the earth as a heat sink or heat source
in the winter. It also sinks heat into the ground in the
summer, as well as heating your hot water year round.
The environmental benefits are that this system is
non-polluting, has no exhaust emissions, reduced CO2 emissions,
and requires a smaller amount of both power and refrigerant
than conventional systems.
The annual savings are about 60% over conventional heating and
cooling costs.

Water is circulated through polyethylene pipes in closed loops
that are installed below the ground. The loops are connected to
an extended range water source heat pump.

non-polluting, has no exhaust emissions, reduced CO2 emissions
and requires a smaller amount of both power and refrigerant than

The upfront capital costs for a geo exchange system are 35-40%
more, but annual savings with a system like this are about 60%
over conventional heating and cooling costs. The payback for the
system in this video was 6 years, and now the owner is making
money on it.

U.S. DOE Announces $20 Million To Lower Costs Of Geothermal Dril

[center]Geothermal Drilling: U.S. DOE Announces $20 Million To
Lower Costs Of Geothermal Drilling[/center]
February 5, 2022 By U.S. Department of Energy
[center]Drilling Efficiency Demonstrations Will Set the Stage
for Transferring Lab Technology to the Marketplace[/center]
WASHINGTON, D.C. — The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today
announced up to $20 million in funding to lower the cost of
developing geothermal energy by demonstrating faster drilling
technologies to shorten the time it takes to develop projects
overall. DOE is looking to dramatically lower the cost of
geothermal drilling — which can exceed 50% of a project’s total
costs. Projects selected for drilling demonstrations will spur
further investment in geothermal energy, which can be a critical
source of zero-carbon energy that’s available around the clock
year-round. This initiative advances President Biden’s goals to
support fossil energy communities that are building upon their
existing energy infrastructure to drive innovation and economic
growth in emerging zero-carbon industries.
“There is incredible, untapped potential to use the heat beneath
our feet to meet our energy demands with a renewable source that
can be found in all pockets of this country,” said U.S.
Secretary of Energy Jennifer M. Granholm. “Not only is the use
of geothermal energy a significant asset for reaching a
carbon-free grid by 2035, it can drive the creation of good
paying jobs in energy communities as the country transitions to
cleaner, more reliable energy sources.”
The Drilling Demos initiative, led by DOE’s Geothermal
Technologies Office (GTO), builds upon DOE advancements in
geothermal drilling technologies that streamline drilling time
and improve penetration rates in laboratory. Demonstrations
within this latest initiative will accelerate the transfer of
geothermal drilling advancements from the laboratory to the
marketplace.
WATCH: Deputy Assistant Secretary for Renewable Power Alejandro
Moreno explains the process for geothermal drilling and how the
Drilling Demos initiative will streamline it.

GTO seeks applications from drilling services providers, well
service companies, research institutions, geothermal operators
and developers, and other entities that can provide real-world,
immediate solutions to address the goal of increasing the
average daily drilling penetration rates for geothermal wells.
Entities that control well access and operations — both
commercial and government-funded — are encouraged to apply. Join
GTO’s Drilling Demos Teaming Partner List to connect with
prospective team members.
Letters of intent are due by April 4, and full applications are
due June 3. Learn more about the Drilling Demos initiative.

The map shows a ridiculously large area of red and dark orange
favorable geothermal resources. Oil drillers record the
temperature at the base of a well regardless if they hit oil or
gas. Drilling for geothermal power can replace expensive gas
peaker plants and aging out nuclear plants. It has the highest
capacity factor, even better than nuclear.

The 1,205 MW Geysers Geothermal Complex in California has been
producing power since 1960. Geothermal is a no-brainer.
