Bill Gates says goodbye to Sodium bet on the drilling the Earth’s core. He has a project ahead that is almost as striking as this white obelisk, in which he was also involved. In a publication published on December 12, 2017, Bill Gates gave his surprising opinion on climate change before attending the meeting One Planet Summitheld a week earlier Paris, France.
He called on the world to adapt “to the climate change that is already affecting the planet” and the need to “develop new tools that prevent the problem from worsening further.”
Innovation is a fundamental aspect to achieve both objectives. For example, scientific advances in crop science will help farmers cope with changing weather patterns.
On the other hand, energy research will make it possible to promote modern life without releasing more greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. As part of his participation, he explained what the key focuses will be, including geothermal energy.
“There is a phenomenal amount of energy stored as heat beneath the surface of the Earth Tierra. Many times more than we could get from all the known coal and oil reserves in the world. To tap into this resource, you have to pump steam or hot water from underground to drive the turbines,” he explained. Bill Gates. Today, the business magnate is betting on the energy that gave him the confidence to fight climate change years ago.
Bill Gates wants to drill the Earth’s core: Sodium had an impact, but this is on a different level
a company of fracking of hot rocks, supported by Bill Gatescould revolutionize the energy sector. Tim Latimer has managed to raise over $400 million to reach its green release goal unlimited, carbon-free thermal energy from the Earth’s crust.
Tim Latimerformer list Forbes 30 Under 30 of 2019is leading a major step forward in the quest for carbon-free energy. He is executive director and co-founder of Fervo Energylocated in Houston.
According to reports Forbeshas raised more than $400 million for a plan that aims to release it geothermal energy virtually unlimited (produced from the heat of the core of the Tierra) from super-hot rocks at least 8,000 feet underground, using the same “fracking” techniques used to extract oil and natural gas from shale rock.
Several relevant figures and companies have decided to invest in it I’m hotlike Mitsubishi heavy industrytraditional oil and gas producers, Mark Zuckerberg j Pioneering energy projectsa venture capital fund that focuses on climate change on behalf of Bill Gates and with the backing of a group of billionaires like Jeff Bezos, Michael Bloomberg, Ray Dalio and Reid Hoffman.
Bill Gates is going to drill the Earth’s core with an ambitious project: even Natrium wasn’t that surprising
The approach will be taken over the next three years I’m hot is to drill 80 wells in the desert with a 50 meter high drilling rig Escalantealmost Milford, Utah. Twenty have already been drilled and each of them is about 25 centimeters in diameter and extends for two and a half kilometers, and then horizontally for another almost a kilometer.
It is a complex drilling in solid granite rock at almost 200 degrees Celsius. After a hole is drilled, high-pressure water mixed with sand is sent to open fractures in the rock. The company was backed by Bill Gates It uses sensors to locate where those fractures have extended and then drills the next well.
There it wants to generate 2,000 MW (two gigawatts) of geothermal energy without CO2 emissions by 2030 with a value of “several billions”. An amount that is sufficient to provide more than 2 million households with energy.
With this project Bill Gates are fully committed to the geothermal energy. An energy that we will tell you much more about in this article.
