Scotland is looking for new ways to explore clean energy and next-level geothermal heating and cooling in order to meet ambitious climate goals in the next decade. Scottish news publication The Herald reported on exciting new developments in research into new applications of geothermal energy using old coal mines.

Online energy publication Renewable Energy World recently reported on the announcement of a comprehensive green-tech project in Nevada designed to increase the state’s energy security and facilitate a transition to renewables. NV energy, a public utility provider in Nevada has awarded swiss-based Energy Vault Holdings a contract to provide a battery energy storage system, also known as BESS. The project is estimated to be up and running by winter 2023.

New green energy development legislation is being considered in the Yukon in order to harness the region’s subterranean renewable potential and decrease reliance on fossil fuels by switching to next-generation geothermal energy. CBC Yukon journalist Julien Gignac reported these regulations for geothermal exploration and extraction could be in place as soon as the fall of 2023. The article follows closely on the heels of an October report detailing the predicted impacts of climate change on the Territory’s unique landscape and way of life.

First Nations and rural communities in Nova Scotia are getting ready to turn up the heat on geothermal energy. A new federal program dubbed Community Geothermal Resource Capacity Assessment and Training, or GeoCAT for short, was announced in early November. CBC’s Erin Pottie’s article covering the announcement of the program describes how the $1.3 million budget will be spent to educate stakeholders and community members about the Maritime province’s next-generation geothermal energy potential, and accessible technologies that can be used to access it.

A CNBC article reporting the details of superhot rock geothermal potential was published in late October, after a compelling report by the Clean Air Task Force was released. The article, written by CNBC climate innovation and technology reporter Cat Clifford, is full of blue text and statistics, a veritable information hub for readers interested in learning more about geothermal energy, energy policies and initiatives in the United States, and major players in the clean energy field.

Say Hi to the Future podcast recently hosted Eavor Technologies Inc engineer Colin Brown to explain how Eavor is the leader of next-generation geothermal energy worldwide. Ken Tencer, CEO of Spyderworks, a marketing and management consultancy company, hosts the video podcast. Tencer started his podcast in early 2021 to shed light on “the human side of human ingenuity: clever, inventive, and original thinking.”
