Sage Geosystems has secured a second phase feasibility study award from the U.S. Air Force Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) office. Together with the Bureau of Economic Geology at the University of Texas at Austin, both parties will explore using geothermal energy to generate electricity at Ellington Field Joint Reserve Base in Texas.

Sage says the “project is designed to demonstrate that geothermal can provide 24/7 load-following power generation in a stand-alone and easily hardened microgrid located “within the wire” on the reserve base and meet 100% of Ellington’s current electricity needs.”
