Overview
Geothermal energy is a clean and renewable energy source that can be harnessed in a variety of ways. One of the most promising technologies for harnessing geothermal energy is the Micro Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC). Another approach for harnessing geothermal energy is through the use of enhanced geothermal systems (EGS). EGS involves artificially creating or enhancing the permeability of subsurface rock formations in order to extract geothermal energy. This can be achieved through a variety of methods, such as hydraulic fracturing or hot dry rock drilling. EGS has the potential to tap into a much larger resource base than traditional geothermal systems, as it is not limited to areas with naturally occurring reservoirs of hot water or steam.
The Micro ORC technology has several advantages for use with low enthalpy geothermal sources. It is well-suited for use in small-scale power generation projects, and it has the potential to provide a reliable and clean source of electricity for a wide range of applications. For example, it could be used to power remote communities, or to provide electricity for agricultural or industrial purposes. The long-term benefits of using this technology, including its zero-carbon impact, can make it a worthwhile investment.
