About this episode
In this episode, we’re joined by Derek Adams and Gus Perez of EarthBridge Energy to discuss how their startup is rethinking long-duration energy storage by using the earth itself as the storage medium. Blending concepts from oil and gas, geothermal, and renewable energy, EarthBridge’s technology, validated by three National Labs—can store massive amounts of power for months, helping solve the mismatch between renewable supply and demand. We dive into why long-duration storage is critical for a stable, net-zero grid, the regulatory and investment landscape they’re navigating, and why Houston’s deep energy expertise makes it the ideal home for building and scaling this next-generation energy storage company.
