Meta's AI is so power-hungry it's literally tapping Earth's core for energy 🌋 Their new 150MW geothermal deal with XGS Energy will power New Mexico data centers using hot underground rocks and a closed-loop water system. Finally, an energy source as deep as their algorithms!

There's a big if but a rich payoff, if the bet is good.

"Enhanced Geothermal Systems Electric-Resource Assessment for the Great Basin, Southwestern United States, Burns et al., US. Geological Survey

The authors conducted a provisional assessment of the geothermal-electric resources associated with high-temperature, low-permeability rock formations of the Great Basin, Southwestern United States. If sufficient technological advances to commercialize enhanced geothermal systems occur, then a current best provisional estimate for electric-power generation capacity of 135 gigawatts electric are available from the upper 6 kilometers of the Earth’s crust. This estimate is a potential substantial increase of the installed geothermal electricity-generating capacity from <1 to 10 percent of current total U.S. power production capacity."

Engineers from our School have examined the use of geothermal energy in two very different applications: a metro station and an underground data center. The works had a focus on the internal airflow conditions of these structures and possible optimization of the mechanical ventilation. Each case presents its own set of challenges. actu.epfl.ch/news/epfl-enginee #civilengineering #energy #geothermalenergy

Why in the News? Today, we delve into the fascinating world of Geothermal Energy—a clean, renewable power source emerging from the Earth’s hidden heat.

Geothermal energy harnesses steam or hot water from deep underground reservoirs to power turbines or provide direct heating.

Die Nutzung der Geothermalenergie macht es möglich, in Island auch empfindliche Pflanzen wie Tomaten anzubauen. In den mit dem reichlich vorhandenen warmen Wasser beheizten Gewächshäusern gedeihen sie trotz des rauen Klimas.

Island nutzt seine vulkanische Aktivität, um nachhaltige Energie zu gewinnen – das Kraftwerk Hellisheiðarvirkjun ist eines der größten Geothermalkraftwerke der Welt. Es versorgt einen Großteil der Hauptstadt Reykjavík mit Strom und Wärme. So zeigt sich, wie Naturkräfte effizient und umweltfreundlich genutzt werden können.
