GreenFire Energy has been selected by the US Air Force and the Department of Defense\u2019s Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office (CDAO) to explore how to tap into America\u2019s abundant geothermal energy supply to increase national security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Having achieved \u201cAwardable\u201d status, GreenFire Energy can now explore developing a utility-scale geothermal power plant here at home and abroad to supply US military bases with reliable and cost-effective electricity, even during a grid outage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
GreenFire Energy was selected through the CDAO\u2019s innovative solicitation process known as the Tradewinds Solutions Marketplace, which is designed to accelerate the procurement and adoption of mission critical technologies, such as AI,ML and resilient energy technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe US Air Force leveraged the Tradewinds solicitation process to quickly collaborate with innovative American companies to build resilient, next-generation geothermal technologies at our bases, using private capital instead of taxpayer dollars,\u201d said Kirk Phillips, Director, Air Force Office of Energy Assurance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWith the Department of Defense doubling down on geothermal by pre-approving key vendors for utility-scale projects across every military branch, GreenFire Energy is uniquely positioned to lead the charge in proving that geothermal is a critical addition to a powerful energy portfolio and U.S. energy dominance. We deliver premium power by matching the right technology to fit the geology. We can ensure that our military has access to reliable, co-located, scalable baseload power – even when grid reliability is in question,\u201d said Rob Klenner, President, GreenFire Energy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
