GEOCOGEN – What Is That?
GEOCOGEN is the name we chose to describe our GigaWatt-scale (1 GigaWatt is 1000 MegaWatts or 1 million kiloWatts) geothermal power-steam cogeneration system. The system avoids pollution and radiation risks, and is sustainable over the long term. It is an old but also new way to generate the quantity of electricity equivalent to a nuclear or fossil fuel power plant while performing without the potential grave consequences of radiation. It is cost effective, with virtually all the cost components being initial capital and routine maintenance. Just look at these benefits:
- No purchased fuel (independent of any fuel supply)
- Relatively independent of location
- CO2 “footprint” is virtually zero
- Produces electricity below European wholesale cost
- Life expectancy about 50 years (ignoring future improvements in the technology)
- Capital cost less than half of a similarly-sized nuclear power plant
- Existing civil engineering and steam turbine technology
- New project permitting time considerable less than a nuclear or thermal power plant
- Water use almost nil
- Can provide heat for district heating, agriculture, seawater desalination, and other uses
What is this amazing system?
If you are not familiar with the principles used in this project, it can get somewhat confusing. In order to simplify things a little, I have separated the project description into a series (about 7 or 8) of smaller, more concentrated, articles.
In case and in spite of this, you have questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me by email: craig.hesser@geocogen.net or use the meebo chat box located on the site. I DO answer my email, and I will respond to the chat box if I am online – but give me a little time to log on. That’s a promise.
Thanks for looking in,
