Global geothermal potential for electricity generation using EGS technologies

Globally, the amount of electricity that could be technically generated by EGSs for less than USD 300 per megawatt-hour (MWh) using thermal resources within 8 km of depth is about 300 000 exajoule (EJ). This is equivalent to almost 600 terawatt (TW) of geothermal capacity operating for 20 years – exceeding the technical potential of conventional geothermal by almost 2 000 times. [Lire plus…]
