What is EPRI's primary focus concerning geothermal technologies?

EPRI's primary focus concerning geothermal technologies is to research the potential of geothermal energy as a power source. This involves conducting studies and assessments that aim to understand the viability, efficiency, and sustainability of geothermal energy, which utilizes heat from beneath the Earth's surface to generate electricity and provide heating. By focusing on research, EPRI seeks to provide critical insights and advancements in geothermal technologies, which can help in the transition towards cleaner and renewable energy sources.

The emphasis on research allows for not only the exploration of current geothermal systems but also the potential development of new technologies that can harness geothermal energy more effectively. This focus is essential in addressing energy demands and reducing greenhouse gas emissions, aligning with broader environmental goals.
