How Enhanced Geothermal Systems Engineer Their Own Reservoirs—and Why Scaling Them Is Still Hard
Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) create electricity by engineering underground reservoirs in hot, impermeable rock, overcoming limitations of conventional geothermal. However, scaling EGS faces significant hurdles like high upfront costs, difficult well construction, and the risk of induced seismicity.
