Full steam ahead? Geothermal energy can be Africa's game-changer
2013-03-04 09:59:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Business Day: THE Africa of today is exponentially more vital than 20th-century Africa. In Sub-Saharan Africa, countries are experiencing a "new dynamism", with two-thirds of them expected to grow at 6.2% this year. In the face of this trend, energy has become a front-burner problem. An astonishing 70% of Sub-Saharan Africans still lack access to basic energy services, undermining their health, limiting opportunities for education and development, and reducing countries potential to rise up out of poverty....

Ethiopia looks to realise its geothermal energy potential
2013-02-13 12:44:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: Ethiopia, like its fellow Great Rift Valley countries, has enormous geothermal energy potential. However, the costs involved and the need for skilled expertise have, until now, been major obstacles. In late January, the Development Bank of Ethiopia announced that, over the next five months, it will offer an initial $20m to kickstart geothermal energy projects in the country's private sector as part of a programme funded by the World Bank. A further $20m is expected to be made available at a later...

El Salvador Prioritizes Geothermal Energy Development
2013-01-14 12:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Environmental News Network: During the last two decades, the global installed capacity for geothermal electricity has nearly doubled. Despite this recent expansion, geothermal energy is not getting the same level of attention as other renewable energy resources, and it remains heavily underutilized. If the world were able to tap just a small portion of the Earth's heat, we could provide everyone with clean and safe energy for centuries. Current estimates of our global potential for geothermal energy range from 35 gigawatts...

Geothermal takes a technological step forward
2013-01-12 13:09:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
San Francisco Chronicle: Geothermal energy developers working on the flanks of an ancient Oregon volcano say they have taken an important technological step toward expanding geothermal energy from a small niche into a potential major source of homegrown power, but more work needs to be done. AltaRock Energy, Inc., of Seattle, says the data is still being analyzed, but they are confident they have created three geothermal reservoirs from a single well where none existed before. The breakthrough solves two problems holding...
