Krafla power plant

Direct drilling into active volcanic magma to access extreme heat sources for energy generation and scientific observation.

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.

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

Krafla

A geothermal exploration project begun in 2009 that aims to explore the potential of high-enthalpy geothermal resources by drilling into supercritical fluids found in volcanic areas.

A geothermal project in Oregon, USA that explores enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) by injecting water into hot rocks to create steam for electricity generation.

An international research project to drill into Iceland's Krafla volcano magma to unlock geothermal energy potential and develop next-generation geothermal power stations.
