The climate change, lack of clean energy and materials together with environmental and social risk create the biggest communities’ challenges. Target to reach the climate neutral world by mid-century is adding more constraints. The major transition with massive deployment of a wide range of clean energy technologies in many cases depends on critical minerals. The new eFusion technology represents contactless, cost-effective drilling technology and open opportunity for global utilization of cost-competitive and CO2-free geothermal energy. The target system of the eFusion technology is the Enhanced Geothermal System (EGS), enabling to delivery energy at any point on Earth. The depth horizons required for EGS are economically and technologically unavailable for today’s conventional drilling technologies. EGS based on eFusion technology allows to build everywhere a local energy source. Additional target application is Nuclear Waste Repository system called eDBRC - the safe final storage of nuclear waste. The next application based on eFusion technology significant with superior cost efficiency and time savings is construction of underground infrastructure projects and mining works including slim mining. The eFusion technology represents one of the breakthrough technologies needed to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, under the Paris Climate Agreement. Local sources of energy significantly decrease distribution energy losses and bring independent source of energy everywhere and allow significant decrease of our dependency on hydrocarbons. The aim of the chapter is to transform the acquired knowledge into the practice, and usable innovation potential is the basis of sustainable development, bringing forward the answers how to face the global societal challenges.
