**About the Ultradeep Geothermal team**
Canada is ideally positioned to be a world leader in geothermal electricity and heat production—a technology that could play a critical role in humanity’s net-zero energy transition. Conventional geothermal systems are already well-known and successful source of electricity and heat: but the best sites are already exploited and remaining ones are limited to a small number of geographic regions in around the world, including a few in Canada.
But there remains a massive opportunity for deep enhanced geothermal systems (or “ultradeep geothermal”) that create heat-exchange reservoirs in hot, dry rock more than 5 kilometres below Earth’s surface. Ultradeep geothermal power plants could be built nearly anywhere on Earth and provide an essentially limitless supply of net-zero power.
However, the development of ultradeep geothermal is impeded by a set of tightly interconnected technical, financing, social, and political challenges. The key technical challenge is our current inability to drill quickly and cheaply to depths of more than 5 km. This challenge is hard to solve due to the lack of incentives for investment in new drilling technologies, and the fragmented landscape of key stakeholders, including geothermal technology companies, industry groups, researchers, clean tech investors, and relevant government agencies.
To overcome these challenges, we must bring these stakeholders together to rapidly develop a private-public innovation ecosystem. Cascade Institute researchers provide timely research and analysis on the technological, regulatory, financial, and social obstacles facing ultradeep geothermal to guide technology companies, investors, and public sector actors.
**About Cascade Institute Fellows**
Cascade Institute Fellows are researchers and knowledge mobilizers with highly specialized expertise on complex systems and the topics related to the Institute’s evolving research program. Fellows are members of one or more of the Institute’s research teams and work both independently and collaboratively with other team members to produce cutting-edge research and analysis products. Fellows scan the knowledge frontier to identify high-impact research opportunities. Working within intellectually diverse teams, Fellows develop new, and expand current, national and international networks of experts and changemakers.
