Novel approaches to geothermal resources development

Funds demonstrations of new drilling, subsurface engineering and reservoir technology that cut the cost and risk of geothermal energy projects.

Projects must include a clear go/no-go milestone before entering the demonstration phase, backed by detailed engineering plans, a techno-economic assessment and permitting evidence. To keep a balanced portfolio, the Commission commits to funding at least the top-ranked proposal in each of the shallow and deep geothermal areas. Effective involvement of Social Sciences and Humanities expertise is re
