The Iceland Deep Drilling Project, while drilling several 5000m holes in an attempt to harness the heat in the volcanic bedrock below the surface of Iceland, struck a pocket of magma at 2,100m. Being only the third time in recorded history that magma had been reached, IDDP decided to invest in the hole, naming it IDDP-1.
A cemented steel case was constructed in the hole with a perforation at the bottom close to the magma. The high temperatures and pressure of the magma steam were used to generate 36MW of power, making IDDP-1 the world’s first magma-enhanced geothermal system.
Want one here?
What's the big deal?
Was the discovery of uranium good for the planet?
Was splitting the atom a good idea.
Pull up to the Periodic Table cause now they can fill in the rest of the chart.
Reason this in the 10 years since the serendipitous discovery here in Puna. The developers operating on this side of the world have a new heat source, magma. They developed a magma-enhanced geothermal system.
Is magma a geothermal resource? Find it in the law.
Is there a difference you bet there is.
