Google has announced its first geothermal investment in Asia, committing 10 megawatts of geothermal power in Taiwan to enhance its renewable energy portfolio. The project, developed by Swedish firm Baseload Capital, has been underway since 2019, focusing on mapping geothermal resources in the region. This follows a previous agreement with geothermal startup Fervo, which connected a 3.5-megawatt plant in Nevada. By 2050, Taiwan aims to harness 6 gigawatts of geothermal energy, contributing to its sustainable energy goals and leveraging its position on the Ring of Fire.
