09-12-2017: Can Supercritical Systems Significantly Increase Electricity Generation at Geothermal Power Plants Like The Geysers?
The answer is yes. Consider the Z Group Energy (ZGE) patented, sealed geothermal system which manufactures supercritical fluids, converting them to steam for use in electricity generation at costs nearly one-half that of current production costs. Using H2O as the heat carrying fluid, our patented system yields zero polluting emissions. Supercritical temperatures are obtained geothermally using […]
