Hydraulic fracturing, commonly known as fracking, extracts natural gas from shale rock formations by injecting high-pressure fluid. This process has significantly increased domestic natural gas production, impacting energy markets and affordability. Conversely,... Read more »
Hydraulic fracturing, commonly known as fracking, and renewable energy sources represent distinct approaches to meeting energy demands. Fracking involves extracting natural gas from shale formations by injecting high-pressure fluids into the ground.... Read more »
Enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) utilize hydraulic fracturing, a process similar to that used in oil and gas extraction, to create or enhance permeability in subsurface rock formations. This allows for the circulation... Read more »
