Imagine a power plant fueled by heat generated deep beneath your feet, silently providing renewable energy day and night, independent of weather or sunlight. Enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) promise exactly this, tapping into Earth’s internal heat anywhere on Earth at astonishing depths of up to 15 kilometers, where temperatures exceed 400°C (752°F). But there’s a problem: How do we reliably pump geothermal fluids from these extreme environments when conventional pumps simply fail?
