Modoc County has been of interest to the geothermal industry for quite some time, attracting researchers from a number of geothermal companies, government agencies, and universities. On August 17th, 2013, UC ...

In an effort to assemble as much relevant data as possible to assist with the integration of geothermal heat pump systems, the CGEC has been working on the following two studies. The first is an evaluation of the efficiency of these systems based on the 16 different climate zones in California, while the other assesses ...

As part of the CGEC’s contract with the California Energy Commission research we sought to make research efforts in the Long Valley Caldera, one of California’s most robust yet undeveloped geothermal resources. By compiling a bibliography of all of geothermal studies that have been done in this caldera over the years, we hope that researchers ...
