Project Description:
Proposes to research the feasibility of installing down-hole turbines into geothermal injection wells at the Geysers.
Proposed Outcomes:
§ A prototype down-hole turbine will be installed and tested.
Anticipated Benefits:
§ Potential to capture at least 25 MWe of electrical power generation currently available as a byproduct of environmental wastewater disposal.
§ Potential to provide a system to acquire this energy that could be paid off in 2 to 3 years at $20 per megawatt hour.
