Clean Energy Australasia (CEA) plans to generate electricity by the integration of Hot Rocks Geothermal Energy and Solar Thermal Energy.
CEA has secured 32 tenements over premier Geothermal and Solar Energy resources in the Great Artesian Basin in Queensland and South Australia, with potential to generate significant commercial electricity.

CEA has secured 22 tenements in the Cooper Basin, total area ~11,000 km2. The Cooper Basin has been identified as a world class hot rock geothermal province.
Thick sediments of the Great Artesian Basin (GAB) and Cooper Basin insulate the hot rocks heat source. The hot rocks are relatively close to the surface and are accessible with proven drilling technology.
Over a thousand petroleum wells provide a wealth of geoscientific information that is available to CEA.

CEA has secured 10 tenements in the Great Artesian Basin - total area ~6,000 km2; 3 granted and 7 in process.
The tenements overlie hot granites. Local water bores are known to produce near boiling water at a depth of just over 1km
