Thank you Jamie Beard, MIT Lincoln Laboratory and Project InnerSpace for two incredible days of knowledge exchange between researchers in aerospace, defense, geothermal, and oil and gas, all working on technologies to withstand extreme pressure and temperature. Eden is proud to be developing technology to efficiently harvest geothermal heat at extreme temperatures and depths. 🌎 🌋 ⚡ #NextGenGeothermal #GeothermalLiftoff Learn more at https://lnkd.in/gYdWV4tt
InnerSpace has been at work on gathering momentum for technology transfer from oil and gas into #geothermal over the past few years. An exciting space that is now firmly off to the races. So now what? The next frontier in removing barriers in the way of massive growth of next generation geothermal is the 20% or so of challenges that oil and gas technology transfer can’t solve - think the really high temp stuff - for drilling, but also for completions and O&M. We just wrapped an intense two day journey into this frontier - where we convened 20 oil and gas entities and geothermal startups, and with 8 teams of MIT researchers who are on the forefront of ultra high temperature and pressure research for #defense and #space. It was purposefully small and we adopted Chatham house to promote candor and open sharing amongst entities. And my goodness I’ve not ended a week this excited in a long time. Turns out that a lot of the “toughest” ultra high temp challenges we may encounter in next generation geothermal over the coming years have already been solved and deployed in the defense and space exploration contexts. In some instances, this is just about technology adaptation and form factor evolution. Congrats to the #oil and #gas leaders in attendance and to MIT Lincoln Laboratory for defining the #bleedingedge of next generation geothermal. Let’s build. And of course - Team InnerSpace, y’all are rock stars. Watch this space…(see what I did there) 🚀 🔥🔥🔥
