   Next-generation geothermal: borrowing oil and gas tech for the data centre boom

   As Big Tech pushes forward with new data centres, there is a growing need for reliable, clean power. Geothermal has emerged as a solution, enabled by next generation energy technologies which are unlocking new geographies. Delivery of these technologies looks familiar – much of the physical build-out of new geothermal systems relies on traditional oil and gas expertise and equipment. Some oil and gas wells may be repurposed, and new wells will lean on previous learnings. The opportunity is significant; investment in geothermal projects is forecast to reach $2.5tn by 2050, and geothermal could offer a cleaner pivot for traditional hydrocarbon infrastructure. However, questions remain around risk-sharing and delivery timelines. Drilling down into the detail is Florent Rousset, vice president of new energy at Baker Hughes. Eve Thomas (https://www.offshore-technology.com/author/evethomas/), associate editor of GlobalData’s energy titles, is the host and producer of this episode.

   Solar, wind and tidal for renewable fuels: what the research says

   Most global transport and heavy industry still rely on fossil fuels; for these hard-to-abate sectors, decarbonisation hinges on the development of low-carbon alternatives. Green hydrogen, ethanol and synthetic fuels are seeing some limited adoption, but cost-competitiveness and scalability remain challenging. Across the solar, wind and tidal sectors, researchers are working to push the needle towards commercial viability. Discussing the work that could shape the future of low-carbon fuel alternatives are four researchers and experts: Maren Cordts, co-founder of photreon; Motiar Rahaman, assistant professor at the University of Liège; Catrin Garrett, energy systems engineer at EMEC and Alessandro Giampieri, research associate at Durham Energy Institute.
