Abstract

The information given in this file represents GHG emissions and corresponding emission rates for California flash and dry steam geothermal power plants. This stage of the life cycle is the fuel use component of the fuel cycle and arises during plant operation. Despite that no fossil fuels are being consumed during operation of these plants, GHG emissions nevertheless arise from GHGs present in the geofluids and dry steam that get released to the atmosphere upon passing through the system. Data for the years of 2008 to 2012 are analyzed.

Inventory of U.S. Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Sinks

Dataset Hockstad, L. ; Hanel, L.

Central to any study of climate change is the development of an emissions inventory that identifies and quantifies a country's primary anthropogenic sources and sinks of greenhouse gases. This inventory adheres to both 1.) a comprehensive and detailed methodology for estimating sources and sinks of anthropogenic greenhouse gases, and 2.) a common and consistent mechanism that enables Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) to compare the relative contribution of different emission sources and greenhouse gases to climate change.This chapter summarizes the latest information on U.S. anthropogenic greenhouse gas emission trends. To ensure that the U.S.more »« less
Global Value Chain and Manufacturing Analysis on Geothermal Power Plant Turbines

Dataset Akar, Sertac ; Augustine, Chad ; Kurup, Parthiv ; ...

In this study, we have undertaken a robust analysis of the global supply chain and manufacturing costs for components of Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) Turboexpander and steam turbines used in geothermal power plants. We collected a range of market data influencing manufacturing from various data sources and determined the main international manufacturers in the industry. The data includes the manufacturing cost model to identify requirements for equipment, facilities, raw materials, and labor. We analyzed three different cases; 1) 1 MW geothermal ORC Turboexpander 2) 5 MW ORC Turboexpander 3) 20 MW geothermal Steam Turbine

Envisat Track 349 and Sentinel-1A Track 64 Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar Data of Coso Geothermal Field, California, USA, 2004-2016

Dataset Reinisch, Elena C. ; Feigl, Kurt L.

This submission contains tarred pair directories for interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) data covering Coso Geothermal Field in California, USA. Explanation of pair subdirectories: Pairs are formed using the InSAR processing software GMT5SAR (Sandwell et al., 2011). Pair subdirectories are named by starting and ending epochs in YYYYMMDD_YYYYMMDD format. Each tarred pair directory contains GRD files for phase data (radians), unwrapped range change (drhomaskd, in m), and unwrapped range change rate (drange, in m/yr). The data are given in both latitude/longitude and Universal Transverse Mercator (Zone 11N). Raw Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data from the Envisat satellite mission operated bymore »« less
