Google.org, Google's philanthropic arm, recently donated $10.25 million in investments to fund a technology called Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS).
As part of Google's Renewable Energy Cheaper than Coal initiative, the $10 million will be used to fund the research of a technology that could provide energy at a price cheaper than coal. EGS is an expanded geothermal system technology that does not rely on natural underground packets of hot water or steam, unlike its conventional counterparts. Instead, EGS mimics these naturally-occurring packets to create renewable energy.
