California's budget, recently signed by Governor Gavin Newsom, allocates funding for geothermal exploratory wells to facilitate the development of advanced geothermal projects. The Clean Air Task Force (CATF) emphasizes that next-generation geothermal energy could significantly aid California in achieving its clean energy goals, provided that development barriers are swiftly addressed.
A CATF report highlights the potential for geothermal to reduce costs associated with California's climate ambitions. Enhanced funding for exploration and characterization is expected to stimulate private investment and accelerate project deployments, ultimately contributing to grid reliability and affordable energy.
