US startups are developing pressurized water storage systems using hydraulic fracturing technology to store renewable energy from solar and wind. This technology offers a potential alternative to ...

According to the new EPFL study, the rock capping the supercritical zone acts in a similar way. Though it's ductile, it can be fractured so that water can flow through it. Meaning that with some ...

Fracking wastewater, a byproduct of natural gas extraction, contains significant lithium concentrations, a critical component in renewable energy technologies and electric vehicle batteries.

Hydraulic fracturing or fracking is an essential technique in the oil and gas industry, used to extract natural gas and oil from deep underground reservoirs. Traditionally, the process has involved a ...

For years, water, or, more accurately, its scarcity, has been predicted to be the next doomsday scenario. In 1994, the American Philosophical Society published a book bearing the title: Is water our ...

Are the Russians coming to Texas riding the tailwinds of fracking? That depends on who you ask, as some believe Russian forces were behind the anti-fracking vote in Denton, while a $15 million ...

Harvested from deep underground, geothermal has long been the underdog of the energy industry, generating just a tiny fraction of the world’s power. But soon that could change. A new crop of startups ...

Fracking — the practice of drilling deep into the earth and cracking through layers of tight shale to extract natural gas — was in the spotlight during last night’s debate between Vice President ...

The rapid buildout of wind and solar power generation has set off a race for experimental technologies to capture and store that energy. Several startups in Houston say they’ve developed ways to cache ...

Technology in Progressive Cavity Pumps transform fracking with durable and efficient pumping, cutting downtime and boosting productivity in harsh conditions. KATY, TX ...
