Interview – How Gradient Geothermal taps into the geothermal potential of oilfields

ThinkGeoEnergy

Harnessing the geothermal energy of oil and gas fields The business of Gradient Geothermal (Gradient) can be briefly summarized as the deployment of modular, mobile geothermal units into oil fields to generate power and provide cooling services. When we bring fluid cooling into the models, then more wells and more opportunities come forward.

El Niño could cost the global economy $3 trillion

Grist

The planet’s weather over the past three years has been dominated by El Niño’s opposite extreme, La Niña, which has had a cooling effect on the globe despite the warming effects of climate change. They found that in the five years following each of those El Niños, the weather phenomena depressed global economic growth by $4.1 trillion and $5.7
