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!

hardware.slashdot.orgMeta Inks a New Geothermal Energy Deal To Support AI - SlashdotMeta has struck a new deal with geothermal startup XGS Energy to supply 150 megawatts of carbon-free electricity for its New Mexico data center. "Advances in AI require continued energy to support infrastructure development," Urvi Parekh, global head of energy at Meta, said in a press release. "With...

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."

Geothermal prospecting continues to evolve from wildcatting, cut-and-try.

"Quantitative extrapolation of key fracture attributes like abundance, orientation, spatial arrangement, length, and open fracture connectivity is possible from outcrops to fractured reservoirs if differing thermal histories and diagenesis are accounted for."

Researchers at the Chair of Energy Systems at the TUM School of Engineering and Design are investigating a heat pump for reversible operation with geothermal energy. The test facility "Geothermal Reversible Absorption Chiller" (GeoReACh) is part of the Geothermal Alliance Bavaria project, which addresses scientific questions related to deep geothermal energy.
