By David Dempsey, Associate Professor in Natural Resources Engineering, University of CanterburyNew Zealand’s North Island features a number of geothermal systems, several of which are used to generate some 1GW of electricity. But deeper down there may be even more potential. The government is now investing NZ$60 million to explore what is known as “supercritical” geothermal energy, following five years of feasibility research led by GNS Science.
