Superhot rock = 400–1000 °C. 🔥
10x more energy per well than today’s geothermal.
Clean. Always on.
That’s what @KMT_Iceland is unlocking.
#EnergyTransition #CleanFirmPower #Superhot
We’re thrilled to announce significant support from the Icelandic government & energy industry leaders!
Another major milestone in our mission and a renewed commitment in Iceland towards #superhotgeothermal energy & #volcanoengineering research.

Wrapping up a fantastic day of magma-energy-science at the #KMTsymposium2024 our Yan Lavallée presents the state of the art on #magma vesiculation as part of his @ERC_Research project MODERATE towards the goals of the @KMT_Project
What a fantastic week! Thank you Yan Lavallée and all the team @LMU_Volc for hosting this successful #magma science gathering! The collective work towards #kraflamagmatestbed starts indeed now 🌋🙌🏽 Let’s go!
Thank you, magma enthusiasts, for a fantastic week of discussions at the very forefront of our field in the inaugural #KMTsymposium2024 @LMU_Muenchen - our journey to build the first international Magma Observatory starts now!
Yan Lavallée makes his call to arms for @KMT_Project
An excellent talk by Betty wrapping up the scientific program of #KMTsymposium2024!
#Viti #KraflaVolcano #kraflamagmatestbed
Our Betty Scheu delivers the final talk of the #KMTsymposium2024 on steam-driven #eruptions in #geothermal areas, with the example of the Viti crater at Krafla caldera for the @KMT_Project
G. Bini from @INGV_press and IMPROVE project reveals the origin and thermal energy of deep fluids at #Krafla’s geothermal system and their implications for #volcanomonitoring and #geothermal energy exploration.

First attempts are made by Andri Stefánsson’s team @Haskoli_Islands to model thermodynamic of natural superhot fluid composition.

Session 6 and last session of #KMTsmyposium2024 is on, tackling geochemistry aspects around #Krafla system and analogues.
Finnbogi Óskarsson (@isor_iceland) and Andri Stefánsson (@Haskoli_Islands) give insight into chemical properties of superheated & supercritical fluids.

Our Jo Gottsmann presents his recent work on the Geodetic signature of thermal modulation of #magma in the context of energy production in the @KMT_Project for the last day of the #KMTsymposium2024 here at @LMU_Muenchen 🌋
Day 3 of #KMTsymposium2024 has kicked off with Session 5 on “Geophysical properties of the volcano-geothermal system”.
The #KMTsymposium2024 programme encompasses also social studies around #Krafla. Mike Cassidy from @LancasterUni gave yesterday an eye-opening talk on the #ethics of engineering #volcanoes.
According to the guiding principles, #kraflamagmatestbed is on the right track!
An excellent day 2 of the #KMTsmyposium2024 yesterday and stimulating talks and discussions at the poster sessions - we’re thrilled to have the #Krafla geoscience community coming together!

Next up this afternoon, our Janine Birnbaum shows her work on magma vesiculation as part of the @ERC_Research project MODERATE at the #KMTsymposium2024 with big implications for drilling into magma in the @KMT_Project
Anastassia Borisova from @GET_Toulouse provides insight onto the petrogenesis of IDDP-1 rhyolites, suggesting a chemical diffusion process controlling an interaction between felsic granophyre rocks and a crystallized basaltic magma.

Three possible scenarios in Oleg Melnik’s numerical simulation on the formation of the IDDP-1 rhyolitic melt in Krafla and an open endorsement to our #magma quest!

This afternoon at the #KMTsymposium2024 we have more speakers from our research group at @LMU_Muenchen - kicking off with Marize Muniz da Silva on the storage conditions of the rhyolitic magma at Krafla caldera
