Horne: Low rock conductivity fundamentally limits closed-loop geothermal heat extraction
“In the case of a drilled hole, the surface area of the hole is quite small, and therefore you depend a lot on conduction of energy, thermal energy through the rock. And rocks actually are not very good thermal conductors. Rocks are kind of insulators actually,…”
