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 375°C 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”.
