Nationalwide potential of “Supercritical Geothermal Power Generation” has been roughly estimated to reach hundreds GW, although there are a lot of scientific unknowns and necessary technological breakthroughs. NEDO has funded to investigate detailed feasibility of the Supercritical Geothermal Power Generation in FY2017, and a team of Japanese researchers from 14 organization made a feasibility study from science, engineering, economy and environment point of view. Outline of outputs from the study will be presented in the session.
