Enhanced geothermal systems can tap into heat energy deep underground the Earth’s surface. New research says they could also be better than existing technologies like batteries for storing excess renewable energy from wind and solar power. Production of renewable energy is growing, but finding the best ways to store it will be critical to help the world decarbonize.
Microsoft is using the Earth’s geothermal energy to power its new sustainable campus in the US. This will reduce Microsoft’s energy use by more than 50%, the company says. Geothermal energy is natural heat stored below the surface that can be used for heating or cooling. This type of electricity generation could meet 25% of Europe’s energy needs by 2030.
