Request for Information (RFI) on Enabling and Transformative Technologies for Superhot Geothermal Power
Grant Title: Request for Information (RFI) on Enabling and Transformative Technologies for Superhot Geothermal Power. This grant aims to gather ideas from various researchers and technologists on innovative methods to develop and speed up the construction of high-temperature geothermal wells for electricity generation and other uses.
Description
Request for Information (RFI) on Enabling and Transformative Technologies for Superhot Geothermal Power. This is a Request for Information (RFI) only. This RFI is not accepting applications for financial assistance. The purpose of this RFI is solely to solicit input for ARPA-E consideration to inform the possible formulation of future programs. The purpose of this RFI is to seek input from researchers and technologists of various backgrounds, representing a broad range of fields and disciplines, with the goal of evaluating novel approaches to develop superhot (defined as greater than or equal to 375C and associated pressures of roughly 22 megapascals (MPa)) enhanced geothermal power for generating electricity and other uses. These approaches should accelerate the construction of high-temperature geothermal wells that may include water in a supercritical state, or superhot.
