While Figure 10 shows subterranean temperatures at 6 km, or 19,685 feet, the drilling depth record for the Gulf of Mexico was 33,200 feet on January 2004 (Shell Oil.).33 Oil and gas drilling technology has routinely allowed successful drilling to depths of 6 km and more. In the past, the Department of Energy used Figure 9 to depict U.S. geothermal resources, but with continued improvements in technology, geothermal resources around the world are being accessed from depths greater than 10,000 feet using conventional hydrothermal resources. Today, the Department of Energy views Figure 10 as depicting the resource base that will be accessible with continued advances in research and development in the foreseeable future. Technology continues to develop that increases our potential for extracting geothermal resources. As shown in Figures 9 and 10, expanding the economically recoverable geothermal resource to depths approaching those of oil and gas reserves extends geothermal use across the country, instead of limiting it to predominantly western areas. Such expansion is dependent upon continued technology development, implying a commitment to sufficient research along with the continued growth of the domestic industry to use the developed technology. Figure 11, below, shows one estimate of the geothermal potential that could be achieved by the United States with a commitment to sufficient funding and industry growth. Figure 12 shows an estimate of world geothermal potential.34 As shown, 1999 utilization of todayís geothermal technology could produce many times more megawatts of geothermal energy than is currently being used. Federal, state, and independent research on enhanced technology is working to reduce cost and develop new technology to find, characterize, and engineer geothermal systems. The success of these efforts will allow commercial production from an increasingly large resource base. 33 Geothermal Energy Association (2004). Geothermal Energy Potential.

Infinity Supercritical CO2 10 Liter Extractor Design and Worldwide Rights: The Infinity Supercritical 10L CO2 extractor is for botanical oil extraction, which is rich in terpenes and can produce shelf ready full spectrum oil. With over 5 years of development, this industry leader mature extractor machine has been sold since 2015 and is part of many profitable businesses. The process can also be used for electrowinning, e-waste recycling, and lithium battery recycling, gold mining electronic wastes, precious metals. CO2 can also be used in a reverse fuel cell with nafion to make a gas-to-liquids fuel, such as methanol, ethanol and butanol or ethylene. Supercritical CO2 has also been used for treating nafion to make it more effective catalyst. This NFT is for the purchase of worldwide rights which includes the design. More Info
