Bipartisan Legislation Could Be Key to Accelerating Next-Generation Geothermal

Bipartisan Legislation Could Be Key to Accelerating Next-Generation Geothermal

US Senators Catherine Cortez Masto, a Democrat representing Nevada, and Lisa Murkowski, a Republican representing Alaska, have  introduced the bipartisan Next-Generation Geothermal Research and Development Act, which would bolster federal funding for next-generation geothermal research, development, and commercialization. Next-generation geothermal technology uses the heat (100-400º+ C) from rocks several kilometers below the surface of the earth to produce electricity.

Start-up Produces Green Hydrogen from Just Sun and Water

Green hydrogen is considered key to a climate-friendly transformation of our industries and energy systems, but thus far its production has been expensive, complex, and tied to grid infrastructure. This is exactly where photreon, a KIT spin-off, aims to make a difference. It has developed a photoreactor panel that generates hydrogen directly from sunlight and water – without electrolyzers or electrical power.
