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.

Utilizes the stable temperature of the earth to heat or cool buildings and melt snow.

A new polymer-based fluid developed for reservoir stimulation in enhanced geothermal systems. The fluid is designed to be non-toxic, recyclable at low cost, and capable of withstanding extreme pressures, temperatures, and acidity levels.
