DeepU laser drilling and cryogenic gas

The video discusses the growing global demand for energy to improve living standards, agriculture, and industrial applications while minimizing environmental impact. Geothermal energy is highlighted as a sustainable solution, with new research focusing on extracting heat from deep underground using closed-loop systems. The DPU European project introduces an innovative laser drilling prototype capable of efficiently penetrating even the hardest rocks, enhancing geothermal potential. The process involves guiding a laser with cryogenic fluid to optimize rock removal, reducing costs, and improving efficiency compared to traditional methods. The video also addresses environmental, health, safety, and regulatory considerations, as well as economic assessments, providing a roadmap for bringing this technology to market.
