There is an electric crisis like AI and cloud providers, increases the construction of the data center. However, a new report shows that a solution is under the foundations.
Advanced Geothermal Power can see two-thirds of the new information center by 2030. analysis by the rhodium group. Additions in the United States When the amount of geothermal energy potential – 4 Gigawatt to about 4 Gigawatt, when the data central operators are currently the same or less.
Technology in the United States where geothermal resources are more can provide 100% of the new data center request. For example, Phoenix can add a 3.8 Gigawat data center capacity without installing a new conventional power plant.
Geothermal resources have a great potential to provide consistent power. Historically, geothermal power plants are limited to places where the earth temperature is approaching the surface. However, developed geothermal techniques can open 90 Gigawatt clean strength in the United States, according to To the US Department of Energy.
The advanced or advanced geothermal covers a wide approach, but usually dig deeper and wider than before. This allows you to enter hot rocks that become more power and become more geothermal wells. The sector was managed by knowledge and technology managed by the knowledge and technology borrowed from oil and gas companies in recent years, borrowed from oil and gas companies.
For example, Fervo Energy, using perfect drilling techniques in the last few decades, was established by former oil and gas engineers to expand Geothermal’s potential using geothermal drilling techniques. Company Rose over $ 200 million In 2024, the well decreased significant costs in the drilling work.
Another start is the bed energy boring To minimize the footprint of geothermalmalmalmalmalmalmalmalmalmalmalmalmalmalmalmalmalmalmalmalmalmalmalmalmalmalmalmalmalal, allows the restricted office buildings and data centers to force more power. The company’s specialized drilling rigs are more than 1200 feet less than 1200 feet to shoot throughout the year.
Quaise Energy technology sounds like something outside of science fiction. Initial evaporates the rock Using the microwave of microwaves created by gyrotrons. He hopes to dig deep as 12.4 miles (20 kilometers) by skipping traditional drilling bits. In this depth, the rocks offer almost 1000 degrees hot, generators or warm buildings to drive.
Most companies use it to maintain another starting energy while using the ability to provide and maintain heat. Sage became the geosystems Shooting water on water wells under pressure. When the power is needed, the faucet can open and drive through a turbine of the water, a kind of water as a water electric scanner.
Because the geothermal power has costs very low, today is competitive with energy costs of data centers, today said the Rhodium report today. When the data centers are in a similar way, in a way that is today, the geothermal energy costs are generally at the expense of proximity to the main metro areas, geothermal energy expenses are considered more than $ 75 per Meegawatt.
However, when developers give the account for geothermal potential in their fields, the costs are significantly reduced, reduced to Meegawatt for about $ 50.
The report believes that the new creator will be “behind the meter” that experts say the network and calls on the power plants connected to the customer directly. Wait time for new power plants to connect to the network It has been stretched for years. As a result, it became more attractive for data center operators climbing to create a new capacity behind the meter arrangements.
