Hot dry rock geothermal energy makes use of hot fluids found naturally in basement rock; but such HWR conditions are rare. By far the bulk of the world’s geothermal resource base (over 98%) is in the form of basement rock that is hot but dry—with no naturally available water. This means that HDR technology is applicable almost everywhere on earth (hence the claim that HDR geothermal energy is ubiquitous). Typically, the temperature in those vast regions of the accessible crystalline basement rock increases with depth. This geothermal gradient, which is the principal HDR resource variable, ranges from less than 20 °C/km to over 60 °C/km,
The International Forum on Energy Security for the Future companies, the Forum has already gained recognition as the most ambitious European project on energy security issues and promotion of alternative energy sources. "This is such a unique occasion, when a Forum managed to bring together different people of different social status to address European energy security. Organized by the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation and Burisma Group, the Forum doesn't only attempt to attract socially responsible businesses and civil society over the idea of energy security, it also offers an exclusive discussion platform that allows participants to share their thoughts and lay foundation for a comprehensive long-term strategy
