Part 4/11:
Key to this optimistic outlook is the integration of new technologies, notably artificial intelligence (AI). A striking example is the American company Zansa, founded by two geoscientists. They employ a scientific approach to pinpoint geothermal sites utilizing comprehensive data from various means, including seismographs and gas sensors. Their method promises to cut drilling costs by up to 66% if their claims hold true.
Remarkably, Zansa has already identified more geothermal potential than the entire industry achieved over the preceding decade, all the while securing more than $40 million in funding. This success hints at a burgeoning sector ready to embrace geothermal energy on a larger scale.
