Welcome to Geoviridien – An Alternative Energy Technology Company. Over the next few posts, we hope to focus a spotlight on important and innovative technologies and developments in the Energy Transition. The name “Geoviridien” originated from three words: “Geo”=Earth, “Viridi”=Green, and “En”=Energy or “Earth’s Green Energy”. Individuals and organisations in […]

The ocean contains a lot of energy in waves and tidal streams. Intermittency may be reduced with persistent energy driven by winds, the Sun, gravity, the Earth’s rotation, density, and temperature. Analogous to wind turbines in the air, there are a range of technical solutions in the ocean to similarly […]
Literally beneath our feet is an incredible source of heat energy called Geothermal Energy. Over 99% of the Earth is over 100degC. Within reasonable well drilling depths (down to~5000m) it is possible to find locations with geothermal temperature gradients over 35-40 degC/km. Geothermal heat comes from (1) volcanic/magmatic sources along […]
Another popular renewable energy source has been Wind Turbines. Large onshore and offshore wind farms have been scaled up to significant energy levels. Unit costs have dropped over 90% in the past decade making this particularly attractive. •Wind turbines from tens of kilowatts up to 20 megawatts are being used […]
One of the most popular renewable energies is Solar PV with tremendous scale up of this technology across residential and commercial locations, industrial facilities, and large scale solar farms. •Unit costs have dropped over 90% in the past decade making this particularly attractive. But Solar PV energy is intermittent – […]
