First Order Draft Contribution to Special Report Renewable Energy Sources (SRREN) 1 2 Figure 4.3. Schematic diagram of a geothermal binary cycle power plant. [TSU: Please add 3 source.] 4 4.3.5 Technologies needed for EGS development 5 The principle of Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) is as follows: in the subsurface where 6 temperatures are high enough for effective utilisation, a fracture network is created or enlarged to 7 act as new fluid pathways. Water is passed through this deep reservoir using injection and 8 production wells, and heat is extracted from the circulating water at the surface. The extracted heat 9 can be used for district heating and/or for power generation. 10 EGS projects are currently at a demonstration and experimental stage. The key technical and 11 economic challenges for EGS over the next two decades will be to achieve efficient and reliable 12 stimulation of multiple reservoirs with sufficient volumes to sustain long term production, with low 13 flow impedance, limited short-circuiting fractures, and manageable water loss (Tester et al., 2006). 14 Conforming research priorities for EGS and magmatic resources as determined in Australia (DRET, 15 2008), the USA (DOE, 2008), the EU (ENGINE, 2008) and the International Partnership for 16 Geothermal Technologies (IPGT, 2008) are summarised in Table 4.3. Successful deployment of the 17 associated services and equipment will be also relevant to many conventional geothermal projects. 18 Table 4.3.

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
