Iceland Deep Drilling Project

The Iceland Deep Drilling Project (IDDP) is an international effort to explore Iceland's geothermal energy by drilling into its hot, volcanic underground rocks. By reaching deeper and hotter zones than usual, the project aims to access high-temperature fluids that can generate more efficient electricity and produce valuable minerals. This research helps improve geothermal energy development, making it more sustainable and abundant. It also advances scientific understanding of geothermal systems, volcanic activity, and the Earth's crust in volcanic regions. Overall, IDDP seeks to harness natural heat more effectively while contributing to energy innovation and resource management.
