How super-hot rocks miles under the earth’s surface could provide limitless clean energy
KEY POINTS
Superhot rock geothermal energy can be generated from dry rock that’s at least 752 degrees Fahrenheit. It exists all over the earth at depths between two and 12 miles.
A new report out Friday from the Clean Air Task Force, a non-profit climate organization, finds that with investment in innovation, this category of clean, baseload energy has the potential to be cost-competitive with other zero-carbon technologies, while having a small land footprint.
Less than 0.2 percent of global energy currently generated from conventional geothermal because it requires heat and water to be relatively close to the surface of the earth.
