Meta and Sage Geosystems collaboration has announced a new collaboration with Sage Geosystems for the expansion of a geothermal energy project and its advanced applications for Data Centers in the United States.
A geothermal energy project
This partnership, unveiled during a U.S. Department of Energy workshop, aims to implement Sage’s geopressurized geothermal(GGS) technology, an innovation capable of generating clean energy in regions where it was previously not viable.
The first phase of the project is expected to be operational in 2027, with a capacity of up to 150 MW of geothermal energysufficient for the growth and sustainability of Meta’s data centers. In addition, this technology is based on“hot dry rock mining,” an abundant and underutilized resource that promises to be key in the transition to a more stable and secure power grid.
Meta is one of the largest corporate buyers of renewable energy globally, with more than 12,000 MW contracted. This collaboration with Sage Geosystems strengthens the company’s commitment to innovation and new energy, exploring and pushing boundaries to ensure that future operations are carbon-free.
Meta’s director of renewable energy, Urvi Parekh, said, “Meta appreciates the Department of Energy’s leadership in promoting and supporting the exploration of new energy sources such as geothermal. That leadership supports Meta’s goal of enabling the addition of reliable, affordable, carbon-free energy to the grid with this geothermal energy agreement. We are excited to partner with such an innovative company as Sage Geosystems, which is a proven leader in geothermal development on this project and beyond. ”.
“We are excited to be at the forefront for the next generation of geothermal technologies and thank DOE for the support in commercializing innovative solutions. As energy demand continues to grow, the need for reliable, resilient and sustainable energy is paramount and our partnership with Meta highlights the critical need for innovative and sustainable energy solutions like ours.”
