Overview
To increase the generation of
geothermal power, a technique called Hot Dry Rock power generation that was
developed 10 years ago has been gaining attention again. Hot Dry Rock power
generation is a technique that involves drilling an artificial well into hot
rock below the earth's surface, and pumping water into it to produce steam and
hot water needed for power generation. Because superheated hot rock is widely
distributed beneath Japan,
the advantage of Hot Dry Rock geothermal power is the broad choice of locations
for possible power generation sites.
