XGS Energy

Today and tomorrow, our Director of Systems Design Marek Kozikowski, Ph.D. is attending Southwest Research Institute’s Geothermal Energy and Machinery Systems (GEMS) Workshop in San Antonio, Texas. The GEMS Workshop is bringing together experts from the geothermal industry, government, and academia to discuss the machinery and technology development needed for advanced geothermal surface plants, including compressors, turbines, heat exchangers, and system design.

Today, we recognize and celebrate all members of the military who have served our country. Thank you and Happy Veterans Day from the XGS team.

Tomorrow, XGS CCO Lucy Darago, Ph.D. will facilitate an interactive breakout session at Trellis Group’s #Verge24 on “Energy Innovations: Conversations on Emerging Technologies” at 3:15pm at the San Jose McEnery Convention Center, LL21E. Lucy will lead a discussion on “Clean Baseload Energy Everywhere from Next-generation Geothermal,” covering the technical advances unlocking new addressable markets for geothermal energy production, plus permitting, financing, and other considerations for large-scale geothermal deployment. The session will also include small group discussions led by industry experts on a range of other clean energy technologies, including long-duration energy storage, fusion, bioenergy with carbon capture and storage, and thermal energy storage.

Next week, the XGS team will be at the Geothermal Rising Conference in Waikoloa, Hawaii! We’re looking forward to networking with our peers and discussing the momentum and direction of the geothermal industry. Ahead of Geothermal Rising, XGS COO Ghazal Izadi, Ph.D. will participate in a panel at the Clean Air Task Force’s Superhot Rock Energy Summit on “Permeability Creation & Heat Extraction in Superhot Rock.” Stop by the Mauna Lanai Resort Ballroom on Saturday, October 26th at 1:00pm to hear from Ghazal alongside other industry experts from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)’s Geothermal Technologies Office, Cyrq Energy, AltaRock Energy, and Eavor Technologies Inc.. If you will also be attending Geothermal Rising or the Superhot Rock Energy Summit and you’re interested in connecting with our team, please reach out.

Demand for geothermal energy production is growing across the United States as companies look towards reliable sources of clean, firm power. As a result, we’re seeing increased efforts from policy makers to address development challenges and expedite deployment of geothermal technology. Recently, the U.S. House of Representatives passed two bills focused on addressing some of the regulatory barriers to deploying geothermal energy, led by Representative John Curtis and Representative Michelle Steel with large bipartisan support. XGS is excited to see forward momentum on geothermal policies – these and other policies will ensure that the United States is well positioned to scale next-generation geothermal technologies from research and development to full-scale commercial integration across the nation’s electricity grids.

To our #geothermal community worldwide: Happy International Geothermal Day! Together, we're powering a #clean, #sustainable future. Let's continue to harness Earth's heat for generations to come.

Growing demand for electricity to power AI is fueling the deployment of novel forms of clean energy, including geothermal, helping to propel the energy transition. In a recent CBC article, Paula Duhatschek discusses how tech companies are making big investments in clean sources of energy like next-generation geothermal to meet their rapidly growing electricity needs while simultaneously maintaining their pledges to minimize fossil fuel-related emissions. XGS’s solid-state geothermal system is well positioned to meet this rapid expansion in electricity demand, delivering reliable, scalable clean energy around-the-clock, which can be deployed anywhere in the world.

Last week, our CTO Axel-Pierre Bois attended the ARPA-E Geothermal Workshop on Enabling Transformative Technologies for Superhot Geothermal. Axel participated in a panel discussion on the critical technology advancements needed to unlock superhot geothermal, including advanced or alternative cement systems, high-temperature downhole tools, and improved drilling technologies. We’re honored to have had Axel represent XGS on the panel alongside industry peers from the University of Oklahoma, UltraDeep Energy Company, and HOTROCK ENERGY RESEARCH ORGANIZATION. XGS Energy is always happy to engage in practical discussions with other groups seeking to advance geothermal technologies; collaborative technology development will be key to realizing the full potential of superhot geothermal resources. #geothermalenergy #geothermal #cleanenergy #cleantech

Today, XGS Energy CCO Lucy Darago, Ph.D. attended the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace’s Workshop on U.S. Foreign Policy for Next-Generation Geothermal. The race for new power generation is heating up and if the U.S. hopes to jump ahead or even just keep up, now is the time to embrace energy innovation that can help achieve a net-zero world. ? According to Milo McBride’s recent Carnegie Endowment report, geothermal is one sector where the U.S. has the potential to pull ahead, based on its industrial advantages in drilling. New techniques that break down traditional barriers could expand national geothermal power generation potential 140-fold—roughly five times the nation’s entire installed power generation today. ? Next-generation approaches like XGS’ solid-state geothermal system have the potential to provide 24/7 clean power and over the long term, these systems will support decarbonizing the remainder of the power grid by offering flexibility to adjust output as needed alongside variable renewable energy sources. ?
