OSTI ID:6837606
A new program, sponsored by the Department of Energy's Geothermal and Hydropower Technologies Division, has begun to investigate the engineering feasibility of extracting energy from shallow magma bodies. This program follows a previous investigation of the scientific feasibility of using magma and differs from it in focus. The current program is directed toward determining whether magma energy can be extracted economically. In the first year of the program, the three most promising sites for a long term experiment will be characterized; the research and development tasks that will be required will be identified; and a program plan outlining the entire feasibility study will be compiled.
