Google, SLB Partner on Global Geothermal Energy Initiative

Google Cloud has partnered with SLB and Project Innerspace to enhance global geothermal energy adoption, utilizing Project Innerspace's GeoMap data set and SLB's consulting expertise. This collaboration aims to identify and develop geothermal resources worldwide, leveraging advanced technologies to meet increasing energy demands and support clean energy initiatives. Geothermal energy has significant potential, capable of satisfying global electricity needs up to 140 times, making it the second most viable clean energy source after solar. Meanwhile, DEEP Earth Energy Production Corp. has signed an MoU with the Saskatchewan First Nations Natural Resource Centre to facilitate First Nations investment in geothermal projects, promoting sustainable energy solutions in Saskatchewan. Colorado's Governor has also emphasized the state's commitment to geothermal energy as part of its renewable energy goals, advocating for federal tax credits to support this sector. The overall sentiment underscores a growing recognition of geothermal energy's role in transitioning to sustainable energy systems and economic growth.
