U.A.E. Masdar to Drill for Hot Water in Search of Green Energy

April 4 (Bloomberg) -- Masdar, Abu Dhabi’s renewable energy company, plans to drill 5,000-meter-deep wells in search for water hot enough to propel power generators for a zero-carbon city, according to an official at CH2M Hill, consultant to Masdar.
“We want the temperature to be above 100 degrees Celsius,” Jay Witherspoon, operations director and technology leader, said in a phone interview from Abu Dhabi. “The thermal energy can offset the electrical energy needed to cool the city.”
