Deep geothermal is a process of extracting heat from belows the earths surface at depths of between 150 and 5000 metres. Shallow or standard geothermal is accepted as being at depths of less that 150 metres.

The possibility of drilling deep in to the earths core beyond 150 metres only become a reality with a Boston-based MIT spin-off, Quaise energy who have developed an ultra-deep drilling technology. This repurposed technology is millimeter-wave beam technology which was originally developed to superheat plasma in fusion experiments, it effectively blasts its way through rock far below the Earth's surface that was previously not possible to drill through.

Whilst Geothermal power is a well known accepted alternative energy source, at depths of 150 metres or less, temperatures below the surface are below 30 degrees, this gives a thermal capacity of 10 kW to <5 MW and also allows cooling. These kinds of figures are useful and it can provid a vert
