目前的地热能转换方法效率相对较低。能够储存和运输能源的技术将是有吸引力的。桑迪亚实验室的工作人员提出的一项建议涉及玄武岩岩浆对水蒸气的部分还原，从而产生氢气。虽然在技术上有很大困难，但可以通过向系统中添加生物质来加强这一过程。
Present methods of geothermal energy conversion are relatively inefficient. Techniques which would allow storage and transport of the energy would be attractive. A proposal by personnel of Sandia Laboratories involves the partial reduction of water vapor by a basaltic magma, leading to the production of hydrogen gas. The process could be enhanced, albeit with great technological difficulty, by the addition of biomass to the system.
