Geothermal Electricity: Potential for CO2 Mitigation
The provision of energy addresses societal and political issues for the present and future generations. A goal, which is defined in the Kyoto and post-Kyoto targets, is to increase the share of renewable energies in the future energy concepts, in order to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and reduce the consumption of finite energy resources. The development of geothermal energy for electricity production and particularly the use of Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) are promising options in this context. EGS are supposed to make a large contribution to a sustainable energy mix, in the future. This means that, besides improving technical aspects, the use of geothermal energy must be realizable with a climate friendly lifecycle and competitive energy production costs. In the present study the potential of geothermal electricity regarding CO2 mitigation will be discussed, considering CO2-emissions of different energy sources and particularly of the different geothermal power plants on-line today. Technical potential deployment is estimated based on different literature sources and the resource assessment study developed within the framework of the GEOELEC Project. CO2-mitigation calculations of different studies will be discussed considering the technical potential. ; GEOELEC - IEE
