"There is enormous untapped potential for enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) to provide clean and reliable electricity generation throughout the United States," said Kathleen Hogan, Assistant Deputy Under Secretary for Science in the U.S. Department of Energy. "These investments in EGS research support President Biden's mission to take on the climate crisis by pushing the frontiers of science and engineering and creating jobs in cutting-edge clean energy fields."
