Next-generation geothermal systems will allow geothermal energy to be exploited in hot, dry rocks by creating artificial reservoirs – in the same way as unconventional oil and gas wells created artificial reservoirs earlier this century. Next-generation geothermal systems can include so-called Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) and Advanced Geothermal Systems (AGS), but regardless of the principle used to design the well, two key characteristics will define almost any such system.
