Fervo Energy develops a 100 MW carbon-free geothermal system in Utah, supported by the Utah FORGE project.

Fervo Energy is developing an enhanced geothermal system in southwest Utah that aims to produce 100 megawatts of carbon-free electricity continuously. This innovative technique involves drilling deep wells to heat cold water in 400-degree rock, generating steam to power turbines. Supported by the Utah FORGE project, drilling costs have fallen by 80%, making geothermal energy a more viable option. This technology could help meet California's renewable energy goals by 2045.
