Abstract
Central Australia has one of the hottest rock resources on earth, making it a potential region for developing geothermal energy using Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS). However, this technology is yet to be proven under local conditions and so relatively little field data or experimental data relevant to local conditions are available. Nevertheless, much can be learned from the global experience due to the operation of conventional geothermal energy plants, i.e. those using heat from volcanic activity.
