Energy from the depths of the Earth: Collaborative research project studies temperature-induced change of rocks in geothermal reservoirs
Johannes Gutenberg Universitaet MainzGrant and Award Announcement
Geothermal energy can make a decisive contribution towards the energy revolution in Germany while supporting the changeover from the use of fossil to climate-neutral energy resources. However, to ensure widespread public acceptance, it is essential to reduce associated risks, such as the triggering of earthquakes, as far as possible. A new research project led by Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) will investigate the impact of changes in deep geothermal reservoirs caused by contact between hot rock and cold water.

Sunlight-powered system mimics plants to power carbon capture
Cornell UniversityPeer-Reviewed Publication
ITHACA, N.Y. – Current methods of capturing and releasing carbon are expensive and so energy-intensive they often require, counterproductively, the use of fossil fuels. Taking inspiration from plants, Cornell University researchers have assembled a chemical process that can power carbon capture with an energy source that’s abundant, clean and free: sunlight.
