  Scientists believed supercritical geothermal energy could be converted into a flow of electricity thereby boosting "the resilience of our electricity system", he said. At the hui, Jones planned to "outline the potential" of thel resource and share some "international learnings" including reasons why some projects had failed.

The article from SunLive discusses the potential of supercritical geothermal energy to revolutionize the energy sector. Supercritical geothermal energy involves tapping into geothermal reservoirs where water exists in a supercritical state, which is neither liquid nor gas but has properties of both, allowing for much higher energy extraction efficiency. This form of geothermal energy could provide a massive boost to renewable energy sources due to its high energy density, potentially offering up to ten times more power than conventional geothermal systems. The article highlights ongoing research and projects, like those in Iceland, where scientists are drilling into supercritical zones to harness this energy. If successful, supercritical geothermal could offer a sustainable, continuous, and high-capacity energy source, significantly reducing reliance on fossil fuels and aiding in the fight against climate change. However, the technology faces challenges including the extreme conditions at drilling depths, the need for advanced materials to withstand these conditions, and the economic viability of such projects.
