Dr. Moore gave a brief summary of the most current activities at Utah FORGE, its recent successes and challenges.
Utah FORGE is a Department of Energy funded project and all of the data is free and publicly available in the Geothermal Data Repository. Please visit our Data Dashboard to explore the various areas of datasets available.
Dr. Kristine Pankow of the University of Utah has been named the Geological Society of America’s 2025–2026 Distinguished Lecturer. Her lecture, “Utah FORGE: A Field-Scale Geothermal Laboratory,” will spotlight groundbreaking research at the world’s only dedicated site for advancing Enhanced Geothermal Systems.
Geothermal energy is gaining global momentum, with countries like the U.S., Indonesia, and the Philippines leading the way.
While enjoying the first days of 2025, we’ve taken a moment to reflect on everything that Utah FORGE accomplished during the past year. There’s a lot to be proud of!
