Geothermal energy: costs and economics?

Geothermal energy costs are estimated at 10c/kWh for a leading enhanced geothermal project at large scale, reflecting capex, opex and capital costs for a 10% IRR

…data-file, to stress test geothermal energy costs, in hotspots (first tab), across geothermal electricity (second tab), geothermal heat (third tab), in other enhanced geothermal systems, and for other useful background…

Enhanced geothermal: technology challenges?

Thunder Said Energy's patent review scores (on a five-point scale) for Eavor's enhanced geothermal technology. Scores higher on focus, but lower on intelligibility.

…develop a next-generation, closed-loop geothermal energy technology. Eavor’s aspiration is that its geothermal systems can be deployed anywhere, to harness the Earth’s geothermal gradient, and provide clean, reliable, flexible baseload…

Ground source heat pumps: the economics?

The breakdown of heat pumps economics. The largest costs are in piping and duct work.

geothermal has accelerated by 3x in the past half-decade and this research note evaluates the energy economics of enhanced geothermal from first principles. Geothermal power is produced from 200 geothermal

Organic Rankine Cycles: the energy economics?

Organic Rankine Cycle Energy economics

This data-file captures the economics of an Organic Rankine Cycle engine to recover low-grade waste heat (at 70-200ºC) from an industrial facility, or in the geothermal industry. A CO2 price…

Power plants: average capacity?

average capacity of power plants

This data-file aggregates granular data into the average size of different types of power plants: wind, solar, nuclear, gas, hydro, coal, biomass, landfill gas and geothermal, by looking across 23,000…

Solar power: the economics?

Utility-scale solar project economics c/kWh

…gensets and geothermal. Our outlook for solar in the energy transition hinges on the levelized costs of solar. We think solar will rise from 5% of the global grid in…

Global solar: absorption spectrum?

Historic and future solar capacity growth as percentage of total electricity demand growth for different regions

…is the LCOE of constructing new solar versus the LCOE of constructing new wind, hydro, nuclear, gas, coal, biomass, diesel gensets and geothermal (as discussed on page 3). However, when solar growth starts exceeding total electricity demand growth,…
