Part 3/9:

At these depths, traditional drilling faces severe issues: high temperatures and harsh rock conditions dull drill bits within hours. The process of extracting worn drill bits for replacements and sending new ones back down can take days, resulting in exorbitant costs. These difficulties have rendered geothermal energy an elusive source, but a promising new technology may change that.

A Revolutionary Drilling Solution

Innovations in drilling technology, originally developed for the fusion industry, may help address the drilling limitations. Quazar Energy has been working on a method capable of vaporizing rock into gas, thus facilitating the extraction of geothermal energy in urban areas globally.
