This Funding Is on a Partnership Intermediary Agreement. the Overall Intent of This Initiative Is to Accelerate the Responsible Deployment of Geothermal Energy in Multiple Underdeveloped Regions of the U.s. by Addressing Specific Barriers to Deployment in Each Area. These Barriers Include, But Are Not Limited to, a Lack of Adequate Public Data to Guide and Incentivize Geothermal Exploration Activities, Financial Barriers That Impede Exploratory Drilling for All But a Few Highly Capitalized Stakeholders and Limited Technical Expertise in Many Stakeholder Organizations. This Initiative Will Build Upon Previous and Ongoing Work That Has Focused Primarily on the Great Basin Region of the United STATES2, and It Will Support Expanded Efforts in Regions Such as, But Not Limited to, the Southern Basin and Range, the Pacific Northwest (including Alaska), and Hawaii. It Will Allow for Tailored Approaches to Accommodate the Relevant Regional Factors Such as Resource Type, Climate, Energy Prices, Community and Local Stakeholder Values/culture, Data Gaps, Etc. It May Also Help to Achieve Economies of Scale in Procuring and Executing Capital Intensive and Highly Technical Field Work.
