Next-Generation Geothermal Research and Development Act aims to boost research and development of next-generation geothermal systems.
The Next-Generation Geothermal Research and Development Act amends the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 to enhance research, development, demonstration, and commercial application activities for next-generation geothermal and closed-loop geothermal systems. It prioritizes projects that advance near-term commercial deployment and focuses on supercritical geothermal systems. The Act establishes a next-generation geothermal systems center of excellence, coordinates among existing Federal Onshore Renewable Energy (FORGE) sites, and awards grants for research and development.
