IRA incentives for thermal storage in idle oil wells IMAGE©Geo2Watts Climate policy in the US Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) provides powerful incentives to generate renewable energy and phase out fossil fuel production. Oil and gas companies are already required to cap boreholes when an oil well is depleted, to meet Asset Retirement Obligations (ARO). But …

A team of solar researchers in Greece is contributing to the development of a technology to produce bio-crude from mixed wet waste processed onsite in a mobile solar-heated reaction chamber. They have innovated the use of concentrated solar thermal (CST) energy to heat this process using hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) to produce bio-crude, a thick oil …
