Journal ArticleDOI
A comparison of electric power output of CO2 Plume Geothermal (CPG) and brine geothermal systems for varying reservoir conditions
Benjamin M. Adams,Thomas H. Kuehn,Jeffrey M. Bielicki,Jimmy B. Randolph,Martin O. Saar,Martin O. Saar +5 more
TL;DR: In contrast to conventional hydrothermal systems or enhanced geothermal systems, CO 2 Plume Geothermal (CPG) systems generate electricity by using CO 2 that has been geothermally heated due to sequestration in a sedimentary basin this article.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the importance of the thermosiphon effect in CPG (CO2 plume geothermal) power systems
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the strength of a buoyancy-driven convective current for CO2 and for 20 weight percent NaCl brine for reservoir depths up to 5 km and geothermal gradients of 20, 35, and 50 °C/km.
Journal ArticleDOI
Combining natural gas recovery and CO2-based geothermal energy extraction for electric power generation
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the potential for extracting heat from produced natural gas and utilizing supercritical carbon dioxide (CO2) as a working fluid for the dual purpose of enhancing gas recovery (EGR) and extracting geothermal energy from deep natural gas reservoirs for electric power generation, while ultimately storing all of the subsurface-injected CO2.
Journal ArticleDOI
The value of bulk energy storage for reducing CO2 emissions and water requirements from regional electricity systems
Jonathan D. Ogland-Hand,Jeffrey M. Bielicki,Yaoping Wang,Benjamin M. Adams,Thomas A. Buscheck,Martin O. Saar,Martin O. Saar +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the value of three BES technologies (CO2-Geothermal Bulk Energy Storage, compressed air energy storage, and pumped hydro energy storage) for reducing system-wide CO2 emissions and water requirements.
Journal ArticleDOI
Increased Power Generation due to Exothermic Water Exsolution in CO2 Plume Geothermal (CPG) Power Plants
Mark R. Fleming,Benjamin M. Adams,Thomas H. Kuehn,Jeffrey M. Bielicki,Martin O. Saar,Martin O. Saar +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a direct CO2-Plume Geothermal (CPG) system is proposed, which uses captured and geologically stored CO2 as the subsurface working fluid in sedimentary basin reservoirs to extract geothermal energy.
