Engineered geothermal schemes that make heat available where nature has not, including enhanced geothermal systems, hot dry rock, closed-loop systems, CO2-plume geothermal and solar augmented geothermal energy. A technology belongs here when its cited article describes such a system. These schemes create or extend the flow of heat through hot rock by fracturing it, by circulating a fluid in a closed loop, or by adding solar heat or carbon dioxide, so that power can be made where natural steam or hot water is lacking. A system is placed here by the cited article.

Closed-loop geothermal systems (also known as “advanced geothermal systems” or “AGS”) are a type of engineered geothermal energy system containing subsurface working fluid that is heated in a hot rock reservoir without direct contact with rock pores and fractures.
CO2-Plume Geothermal, Wikipedia
Has Member: CO2-Plume Geothermal, LeadQuote, Has Member: CO2-Plume Geothermal, Lead
CO2-Plume Geothermal (CPG) is a proposed technology that combines carbon capture and storage (CCS/CCUS) with geothermal energy extraction, utilising carbon dioxide (CO2) itself as a geothermal energy extraction fluid.

Has Member: Solar Augmented Geothermal Energy, LeadQuote, Has Member: Solar Augmented Geothermal Energy, Lead
Solar augmented geothermal energy (SAGE) is an advanced method of geothermal energy that creates a synthetic geothermal storage resource by heating a natural brine with solar energy and adding enough heat when the sun shines to generate power 24 hours a day.
