This tool is designed to help developers site large-scale geothermal plants by providing easy access to geothermal resource datasets and other data relevant to utility-scale geothermal power projects. Geothermal Regulatory Roadmap – (openei.org/wiki/GRR) a centralized information resource on the permitting processes for geothermal development in Alaska, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, and Texas. GETEM Geothermal LCOE – (geothermal.energy.gov/geothermal_tools.html) the Geothermal Electricity Technology Evaluation Model (GETEM) is a detailed model of the estimated performance and costs of currently available U.S. geothermal power systems. JEDI – (nrel.gov/analysis/jedi/about_jedi_geothermal.html) The Jobs and Economic Development Impact (JEDI) Geothermal model allows users to estimate project costs and direct economic impacts for both hydrothermal and EGS power generation projects based on exploration and drilling activities, power plant construction, and ongoing operations. National Geothermal Data System – (geothermaldata.org) slated for launch in 2014, the NGDS has already collected millions of datasets from state geological surveys, at stategeothermaldata.org and the Geothermal Data Repository, for DOE-funded projects. team over the summer: Eric Lustgarten, a rising senior at St. Lawrence University majoring in geology; and Darren Handoko, a rising sophomore at Stanford majoring in Chemical Engineering. “The coolest thing about the internship was our access to the full DC experience— from seminars to conferences and tours—all the interns were encouraged to observe and take part,” Eric said. As he completes his studies, Eric hopes to be a positive influence in the renewable energy sector. “My interests are in the promotion, research, and reality of renewable energy in our near future,” he says. “My summer at the Energy Department was an unforgettable, professional experience,” says Darren Handoko. “I got to be at the intersection of some of the newest energy technology research, and I was able to contribute to DOE’s communication and education strategy for the general public.” Darren is actively engaged in the Internet and cleantech entrepreneurship scene in Silicon Valley and will be a research assistant at University of Rochester Wins Top Honors for Geothermal Innovation Four finalist teams presented their findings at the National Geothermal Summit hosted by the Geothermal Energy Association in Reno, Nevada June 26-27, 2013. This year’s first-place winner in the National Geothermal Student Competition (NGSC) is the University of Rochester, New York, comprised of Talor Walsh, Leah Sabbeth, and team leader David Brink-Roby. Kidus Alemayehu is not pictured. The Oregon Institute of Technology, University of South Dakota, and California Polytechnic University, Pomona also won the distinction of presenting innovative geothermal business plans to industry leaders at the event, where a team of judges ranked their proposals based on written and oral presentations. NGSC is the Energy Department’s annual intercollegiate contest that challenges undergraduate and graduate students to explore cutting-edge technologies, this year by crafting a business plan to develop a geothermal enterprise. While geothermal energy development predominantly occurs in the western United States, the student team from New York proposed an enterprise in a surprising location: the coal fields of Pennsylvania. Rochester’s business plan leveraged clean, baseload geothermal energy to mitigate a superfund site there with novel technology. Rochester’s plan would tap heat generated by underground coal fires—naturally occurring smoldering deposits often found in coal mines. Of the 200 coal fires burning nationwide, the Rochester study targeted Pennsylvania, where 45 of these fires continue to burn in the subsurface, closer to the surface than in conventional geothermal drilling. Electricity is generated by using the heat to boil geothermal fluid into steam, resulting in low-cost, carbon-negative energy production from lost resources and long-term alternative energy credits to meet state renewable energy requirements. Now in its third year, the hands-on competition emphasizes the Administration's pledge to accelerate science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education by exploring solutions and technologies that could lead to breakthroughs in geothermal energy development while reducing cost and risks.
