Column: Explore isles’ geothermal resources

Working with the Native Hawaiian company, Waika Consulting, to evaluate a block of land on Hawaii island in 2023, we saw that a great start has been made toward geothermal resource site evaluation. Local residents we spoke to understand that geothermal power plants mean green renewable energy for generations. To create a near endless cycle of geothermal energy we borrow either hot fluids or steam from a geothermal reservoir, use them in a power-plant to drive a turbo-generator, and return the borrowed fluids and gases to the reservoir. They can then gradually work their way back to the heating side of the reservoir to begin the cycle again.
