Life cycle analysis of geothermal power generation with supercritical carbon dioxide
Life cycle analysis methods were employed to model the greenhouse gas emissions and fossil energy consumption associated with geothermal power production when supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO _2 ) is used instead of saline geofluids to recover heat from below ground. Since a significant amount of...
