08-30-2017: Supercritical Fluid Energy Manufacture
How can Z Group Energy (ZGE) manufacture supercritical fluid below ground? Good question. ZGE can do this by cost effectively employing its patented, sealed geothermal system to depths enabling the conductive capture of hot rock heat at temperatures high enough to produce supercritical fluids, say water above 374°C. Using H2O as the thermal energy carrier […]
08-17-2017: Are Supercritical Fluids Critical For Cost-Effective Geothermal Electricity Production?
Why might supercritical fluids be critical for cost-effective geothermal energy? Before answering, what is a supercritical fluid? Per Wikipedia[1]: A supercritical fluid (SCF) is any substance at a temperature and pressure above its critical point, where distinct liquid and gas phases do not exist. It can effuse through solids like a gas, and dissolve materials […]
08-08-2017: Closed System Geothermal Energy
Why is closed system geothermal electricity generation important? Our 21st century world is electric. Until and when we divine a cleaner, more useful energy methodology, say on a paranormal ether harvesting plane or whatever, it’s important we generate electricity in the most environmentally friendly, cost effective way possible. Some may be uncomfortable with mentioning cost […]
07-28-2017: Z Group Energy’s Closed vs Open Conventional Geothermal Systems
We might ask, “how does the Z Group Energy (ZGE) closed geothermal system differ from today’s conventional geothermal systems and why might this difference be significant? Interesting questions. I’ll answer the second question, the easy one, first. The primary significance, just in terms of economic sustainability and potential positive return on investment, both necessary components […]
