In cooperation with the Geothermal Energy and Geofluids (GEG) group, ETH Zurich researchers, working at NAGRA's Grimsel rock laboratory, have retreated deep inside the mountain. By fracturing solid rock, they are hoping to re-examine the feasibility of geothermal power plants based on petrothermal technology. (ETH Globe, 1/2017)
