Exploring the seismic link: A new avenue for geothermal energy

Los Angeles CA (SPX) Apr 12, 2024

Penn State researchers have discovered a significant link between low-magnitude microearthquakes and the permeability of subsurface rocks, utilizing machine learning techniques. This breakthrough could enhance the efficiency of geothermal energy production. Geothermal energy generation relies on a permeable subsurface that allows for the effective release of heat when cold fluids are intro
