Geothermal energy taps into the Earth’s natural heat—but what happens when that heat isn’t easily accessible? Berkeley Lab scientists are working to solve that problem through enhanced geothermal systems, or EGS. In this episode, we talk with Eva Schill, program lead for geothermal systems in the Energy Geosciences Division, about the promise of EGS, what makes it different from conventional geothermal energy, and why Berkeley Lab is uniquely positioned to drive this technology forward.
Featuring: Eva Schill is the Geothermal Systems Program Lead in the Energy Geosciences Division at Berkeley Lab. With a background in geology and geophysics, Schill oversees a portfolio of projects advancing both conventional and enhanced geothermal technologies.
