As tech startups look for options to help power their AI datacenters, geothermal is emerging as a go-to resource to provide clean, firm electricity – with innovation coming from the energy capital of the world: Texas. With a skilled workforce and streamlined regulatory process, Texas is becoming a true hot-spot for geothermal innovation. According to Reuters News Agency, ten of the 22 geothermal startups launched between 2016 and 2022 are based in Texas. XGS Energy is proud to be a part of this thriving energy ecosystem. We opened our office in #Houston’s Memorial City last year, which is home to some of the best subsurface engineers and operational talent in the energy sector. #Geothermal #CleanEnergy #EnergyTransition #Innovation #Texas

Bolstered by $20 million in new financing, XGS is making significant strides towards delivering 24/7 carbon-free energy to the grid. Zero-emissions power is one of the most important policy goals for the 21st century, and with geothermal making up just 0.4% of America’s electricity generation, there’s enormous opportunity for innovation and growth. From XGS’s new conduction methods that make energy production more efficient and predictable, to machine learning to make exploration easier, it’s an exciting time to be in geothermal. And as Latitude Media points out, geothermal technologies receiving funding are complementary, creating even more momentum for the whole sector.

When I started working on geothermal at NREL, I had no idea which way was up. It was a brand new field to me. And while there was great information out there, you really had to dig to find it. It's an experience a lot of folks new to geothermal share -- but hopefully no longer! The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory recently launched GeoBridge, a new web portal that provides easy access to info on a wide range of #geothermal topics. Get connected to geothermal circles, find geothermal degree programs, identify startup opportunities, and more by visiting GeoBridge or by joining the launch webinar on Dec. 3 at 12 p.m. ET. Register for the webinar: https://lnkd.in/g8FwasCc Explore GeoBridge: https://lnkd.in/gh8EqZCw
