Gov. Bill Ritter on Thursday congratulated four Colorado companies, three state institutions and the Denver Museum of Nature & Science for securing $18 million in Recovery Act funding for geothermal exploration, research and demonstration projects.
Grants included $4.78 million to Flint Geothermal to use geological mapping tools to identify Colorado geothermal resources and $4.6 million to Colorado’s Department of Personnel and Administration to assess the performance of ground- source heat-pump projects.
The grants were part of $338 million in geothermal grants distributed nationwide by the Department of Energy on Thursday.
