Chemical Impact of Elevated CO2 on Geothermal Energy Production

Jan 01, 2013
2.13 MB
Publicly accessible
Numerical simulations have shown that the use of supercritical CO2 instead of water as a heat transfer fluid yields significantly greater heat extraction rates for geothermal energy. If this technology is implemented successfully, it could increase geothermal energy production and...
