Alaska Business Magazine, August 2024

The Seward Heat Loop Project is a unique alternative energy system firmly rooted in geothermal science, a concept that may sound like something out of science fiction.

🌞🔋Did you catch this? In 2023, solar photovoltaics made up over half of the new electricity generation capacity in the US! Globally, as much as 446 gigawatts of solar PV was installed last year.

Curious about what's driving this solar surge and what we can expect in the future? Check out the Spring 2024 Solar Industry Update for all the latest insights and projections ➡️ https://bit.ly/3Wleez0

Geothermal reservoirs are hosted in igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks across the world and are each susceptible to varying effects from regional tectonics, active volcanism, crustal heat flow, thermal conductivity, and diagenesis. Consequently, reservoir characterization workflows, drilling technology, production techniques, and reservoir monitoring plans are highly variable depending on the type of geothermal reservoir being targeted.

This session will discuss the challenges and opportunities associated with exploration and development in all types of geothermal reservoirs from both geologic and engineering standpoints.

The session chair is Eric Stautberg (Colorado School of Mines)

Panelists include:

Andy Sabin
Tony Pink
Shuvajit Bhattacharya, PhD
Whitney Trainor-Guitton, PhD
Emma McConville, MSc.

Wow!

The Oceanbird vessel, developed by Wallenius Marine in partnership with Alfa Laval, is the world's largest wind-powered cargo ship. It measures 200 meters in length and can carry up to 7,000 cars. The ship features five telescopic wing sails that can extend up to 105 meters above the water and rotate 360 degrees to harness wind power efficiently. This design aims to reduce carbon emissions by up to 90% compared to conventional ships. The Oceanbird is expected to cross the Atlantic in about 12 days, slightly longer than traditional fuel-powered ships but with significant environmental benefits. The first Oceanbird vessel is set to begin operations in 2024.
