- 这些项目将获得最高9900万美元资金，用于开展下一代地热技术的实地规模测试，以及旨在全美范围内发掘优质地热资源的勘探钻井工作。
- 其中5个项目将开展增强型地热系统（EGS）技术的实地测试，另外16个项目将专注于勘探钻井。
- 获资助企业包括Fervo能源公司（股票代码：FRVO.O），该公司入选了两个项目，分别为爱达荷州的增强型地热系统示范项目以及内华达州的勘探钻井项目。其他入选企业包括Quaise能源公司、Zanskar地热公司、XGS能源公司和Invenergy公司。
- 美国能源部将通过其地热数据库，将项目产生的所有数据公开，以助力未来的技术开发和资源勘探工作。
- 美国能源部副部长凯尔·豪斯特维特在一份声明中表示：“这些项目将赋能美国创新者，解锁我们脚下蕴藏的海量地热资源。在特朗普总统的领导下，我们正在推进下一代地热技术，降低成本，巩固美国的能源主导地位，并将更多国内丰富的地热资源转化为可靠且负担得起的电力。”
- 随着开发者借鉴油气钻井技术来提取地下热量用于发电，地热已成为美国电力行业增长最快的领域之一。

Sept 21 (Reuters) – The US Department of Energy on Monday said it selected 21 projects for up to $99 million in funding to advance geothermal energy development, a source of around-the-clock power that has attracted growing interest from investors and energy companies.

- The projects will receive up to $99 million to conduct field-scale tests of next-generation geothermal technologies and exploration drilling designed to identify promising geothermal resources across the United States.
- Five projects will conduct field tests of enhanced geothermal systems, or EGS, technologies, while 16 projects will focus on exploration drilling.
- Recipients include Fervo Energy FRVO.O, which was selected for two projects, including an enhanced geothermal systems demonstration in Idaho and exploration drilling in Nevada. Other selected companies include Quaise Energy, Zanskar Geothermal, XGS Energy and Invenergy.
- DOE will make data generated under the projects publicly available through its Geothermal Data Repository to help guide future technology development and resource exploration.
- “These projects will empower American innovators to unlock the tremendous geothermal resources beneath our feet,” DOE Under Secretary of Energy Kyle Haustveit said in a statement. “Under President Trump’s leadership, we’re advancing next-generation geothermal technologies that can lower costs, strengthen American energy dominance, and turn more of our vast domestic geothermal resources into reliable and affordable power.”
- Geothermal energy has emerged as one of the fastest-growing areas of the US power sector as developers adapt oil-and-gas drilling techniques to tap underground heat for electricity generation.
