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 of energy security in Europe", admitted co-founder of the Forum and the President of Burisma Group Nikolay Zlochevskyi. The Forum was opened by HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco. In his speech he focused on the need to develop alternative energy sources and outlined that the topic of the Forum was “essential” for a secure and prosperous future of European states. “Energy security planning has to be done in a long-term perspective,” the Prince noted. “We should pay more attention to renewable energy sources that would enable getting cheap energy without polluting the environment.” Organized by Burisma Group in partnership
