USA, California: Geothermal has Unique Traits to Help Ease Transition to Renewable Energy - GRC Member

Transitioning to renewable energy (Stanford University)

Jack Norbeck

�It�s essential that the world makes the transition very quickly to renewable energy. We know that there are a lot of systemic issues involved. Geothermal has unique traits that can help to ease that process,� said Jack Norbeck, Energy Resources Engineering PhD �16, also a GRC Member.

Norbeck is working on bringing geothermal energy to the world in his role as co-founder of Fervo Energy. Geothermal is a zero-carbon emission, renewable energy source. However, it isn�t used as commonly as solar or wind in many places because �current technology is limited to niche geological locations,� he said. �The technology we�re working on at Fervo Energy would allow us to further explore and utilize these sources.�
