Communicating research results to support a supercritical future for New Zealand.
We are building on over sixty years of New Zealand leadership in large scale geothermal energy utilisation for industrial direct heat and electricity generation.
Summarising characteristics of high-temperature geothermal systems and their fluids, and how and why supercritical fluids could be a way forward for future energy needs.
This conference paper from the 2019 NZ Geothermal Workshop looks at possible modelling strategies for power generation in Reporoa, while preserving nearby protected geothermal surface features.
