We continue our journey to bringing awareness to the heat beneath our feet in order to power the future with a very fascinating conversation with Matt Uddenberg, the Vice President of Operations. AltaRock is up to some amazing work and one thing in particular that we touch on in this episode is the ability to access SHR (Super Hot Rock) in order to increase our efficiencies with power generation. Being able to access temperatures in the 4-500 degree Celsius range is key in the advancement of Geothermal as a baseload energy source as it offers up to 5 times as much energy production per well. Increasing energy output thus increasing plant efficiencies is a crucial piece in bringing Geothermal down the cost curve.  https://energy.mit.edu/wp-content/uploads/2006/11/MITEI-The-Future-of-Geothermal-Energy.pdf2006 MIT study on The Future of Geothermal Energy https://www.linkedin.com/company/altarock-energy/about/AltaRock LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/matt-uddenberg-pg-39a4158b/Matt Uddenberg LinkedIn
