Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS)

EGS are artificial reservoirs created underground in areas with hot rock, where fluid pathways are enhanced through safe drilling processes to increase connectivity. These pathways allow fluid to flow through the hot rock, bringing heat to the surface for electricity generation.

Supercritical fluid geothermal extraction

Exploration of high-enthalpy geothermal resources by drilling into supercritical fluids found in volcanic areas, as pursued by the Iceland Deep Drilling Project.

Geothermal steam generation

Process of converting heated water into steam for electricity generation using geothermal heat sources.
