Hot Dry Rock (HDR) technology

Hot Dry Rock (HDR) technology involves extracting geothermal energy from deep, hot, but dry underground rock formations that lack natural water. Engineers drill into these hot rocks, inject water to create a fracture network, and then produce the heated water back to the surface. The heat from the water is used to generate electricity or provide direct heating. HDR is a sustainable energy source because it taps into Earth's natural heat without depleting resources, offering a way to produce clean, renewable power by accessing areas where traditional geothermal methods are not feasible.
