Climate Change Reference Book
This report was prepared for DOE Deputy Assistant Secretary for Renewable Energy, in 1988, by Meridian Corporation, Alexandria, Va. It set the environmental impacts of geothermal power in the context of those of other renewables, coal, and nuclear. While this is a compendium from largely secondary sources, it gives estimates for CO2 per GWh for the three phases of resource extraction, facility construction, and facility operation. Tons of concrete and steel used are estimated. System include hydrothermal (dry steam, flashed, binary), geopressured, hot dry rock, and magma. (DJE 2005)
