Funded Activity Summary

Stochastic modelling of fractures in crystalline rock masses for hot dry rock enhanced geothermal systems. Hot dry rock geothermal energy will contribute significant base-load power to the nation without producing greenhouse gas emissions. This research will contribute to the optimal design of fracture generation programmes to create effective artificial reservoirs in geothermal systems, which is crucial to successful geothermal energy production.
