Geothermal Institute grant awarded to UNR

May 19, 2010



The U.S. Department of Energy has awarded the University of Nevada, Reno a $1.2 million grant to develop and operate the National Geothermal Institute.

The institute will be part of a consortium of top geothermal schools, including the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cornell University, Stanford University, the Oregon Institute of Technology and the University of Utah.

First established two decades ago, the consortium is designed to transform and grow the national energy infrastructure for America's geothermal resources by creating a centrally located, convening organization for developing and conducting geothermal instructional programs. The consortium attracts students, professors and industry professionals from around the country to learn everything from the basics to the latest in geothermal energy production.
