Iceland Deep Drilling Project (IDDP)

The Iceland Deep Drilling Project (IDDP) is a scientific initiative aimed at exploring deep beneath Iceland’s volcanoes to access super-hot geothermal reservoirs. By drilling into the Earth's crust, researchers seek to harness extremely high-temperature steam and fluids for efficient, sustainable energy production. This project advances understanding of geothermal systems, improves drilling technology, and aims to develop more powerful geothermal power plants. Ultimately, IDDP contributes to renewable energy efforts by unlocking the potential of deep geothermal resources to generate clean electricity while deepening our knowledge of geothermal geology.
