    Big Ambitions: Next generation of hydrogen projects

    Green hydrogen has big ambitions to continuously increase efficiency and reduce costs. Building a robust hydrogen economy requires the development of supportive policies, regulations, standards and incentives to fuel investments and initiate the deployment of green hydrogen technologies. What developments are driving down costs? Can coordination of investment scale up infrastructure? What renewable intermittency challenges can be offset with storage and grid solutions?

    TechEnergy Ventures | Using Tech Advancements to Make Geothermal Cheaper and More Available

    To make geothermal relevant in the energy transition, we need to drill deep enough to get an attractive rock temperature, to harvest the heat of that rock, and to efficiently convert it to electricity.  TechEnergy Ventures is supporting Quaise Energy, a start-up (MIT spinout) developing a drilling tech using a cutting-edge Millimeter-Wave (MMW) electromagnetic beam to dive into depths of ultra deep geothermal, and Eden GeoPower, a Massachusetts-based reservoir simulation technology company developing a groundbreaking electro-hydraulic fracturing technology to increase fluid permeability.
