Joseph Batir

Teverra

Geothermal Lead

Dr. Joseph Batir is Teverra’s Lead Geothermal Geoscientist with 14 years of early-stage research and exploration experience specializing in data mining, thermal resource characterization, and geospatial analysis. Dr. Batir has examined sedimentary geothermal systems and co-production opportunities in nearly every major basin in the continental United States and Alaska. During his Ph.D. and postdoctoral studies in the SMU Geothermal Laboratory, he collaborated with the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, the Texas Bureau of Economic Geology, Cornell University, and multiple geothermal industry companies. Dr. Batir has been a key member on projects funded by the DOE GTO, the Alaska Energy Authority, and Google. He is currently leading Teverra’s data collection and analysis contribution to the DOE funded, UNR lead, INGENIOUS project. Dr. Batir was awarded a B.Sc. in Geology from Southern Illinois University, Carbondale, a M.Sc. in Geothermal Energy from the School for Renewable Energy Science, and a Ph.D. in Geophysics from Southern Methodist University.

    Subsurface not only provides natural energy resources such as oil and gas, geothermal energy and natural hydrogen, but also provides huge opportunities for storage of energy, CO2, hydrogen etc.  Efficient storage of thermal energy in subsurface formations is a game changing technology that materialize the current critical need for decarbonized energy storage to make renewable energy options reliable, dispatchable, affordable and resilient.
