Session 4D: Enhanced Geothermal Systems

Date
Tuesday, October 28, 2025
Session Time
4:30 PM - 6:30 PM
Session Location
Tuscany 4

Abundant geothermal energy is under our feet everywhere, but its extraction needs sufficiently efficient and economic engineered solutions. The session will solicit new approaches in design, innovation, and technology for the creation of Enhanced or Engineered Geothermal Systems.
