Si la géothermie haute énergie(exemple de Bouillante en Guadeloupe) repose sur l'exploitation de l'eau chaude souterraine, la géothermie profonde utilise la chaleur emmagasinée dans des formations rocheuses peu perméables qui, en l'absence d’eau, est difficile à capter. Il s’agit alors de créer artificiellement des réservoirs géothermiques en profondeur. La technique? Fragmenter en profondeur des roches chaudes par injection d’eau sous pression et créer un échangeur thermique profond via le forage de plusieurs puits. Une boucle est alors établie et l'eau, réchauffée au contact des roches chaudes, cède son énergie à une unité de surface produisant de l'électricité, via une turbine. 2, record 1, French, - g%C3%A9othermie%20profonde

La mise au point, en 1895, de la technique d’extraction minière Frasch a permis d’exporter, à l'échelle mondiale, de forts tonnages de soufre bon marché [...]. Dans ce procédé, de l'eau très chaude, injectée dans le gisement souterrain au moyen d’un réseau de puits fait fondre le soufre. Il en résulte du soufre fondu qui alors remonte à la surface dans des conduites coaxiales installées dans chaque puits. 1, record 2, French, - technique%20d%27extraction%20mini%C3%A8re%20Frasch
