Unlocking larger flow and higher temperature with enhanced geothermal systems innovation in 2025

2026

Abstract

In 2025, enhanced geothermal systems advanced from demonstration to commercial-scale deployment, supported by continued improvements in drilling and well performance. New pilots exceeding 330 °C enabled breakthroughs towards accessing superheated or supercritical resources, an important frontier for geothermal power generation.
