On Earth it has been found that Hydrothermal vents can reach up to 407°C and with it lives extremophiles and other organisms. 900°C could also support life for organisms--methane produced from organisms? Mars produces methane regularly which suggests life beneath the surface. Earth's coal mines producing methane have also been used to generate electricity
