Funded Activity Summary

Supercomputer Simulation of Hot Fractured Rock Geothermal Reservoir Systems. The project aims to develop an advanced computational model to simulate fractured geomaterials for Hot Fractured Rock (HFR) geothermal energy exploitation in collaboration with Geodynamics Ltd which is developing Australia's first HFR field site. The site has enough stored energy to provide all Australia's energy needs for up to 70 years. The model has the potential to provide the predictive capacity for geothermal energy extraction required to successfully exploit the immense potential of HFR energy. The expected outcome is a new supercomputer simulation tool to aid in HFR energy facility design, construction, risk assessment and production that will help Australia become a world leader in the emerging worldwide HFR geothermal industry.
