Sage Geosystems and the UT Bureau of Economic Geology have been awarded an Air Force STTR Phase II contract to continue the feasibility study for cost-effective geothermal systems for permanent military bases, with the Ellington Field Joint Reserve Base in Houston, Texas being the proving ground.
This project is designed to demonstrate that geothermal can provide 24/7 load-following power generation in a stand-alone and easily hardened microgrid located “within the wire” on the reserve base and meet 100% of Ellington’s current electricity needs. This project has the potential for wide deployment to provide reliable primary and back-up power to critical infrastructure and place the US in the lead of building a new energy industry.
Sage Geosystems would like to recognize and express our sincere appreciation to our investors, Virya LLC and Nabors, for their continued support.
