Factor2 Energy CO2-Based Geothermal Power Generation System
Sector: Water Supply and Storage • Location: Duisburg, Germany
Source: WJBF
Factor2 Energy is developing a novel geothermal power generation system that uses CO2 as the working fluid instead of water or brine. The technology involves injecting CO2 into deep geological formations where it absorbs geothermal heat and rises to the surface via production wells, driving a thermosiphon effect. The heat is converted into electricity using a direct driven CO2 turbine system in a

Description
Description | Factor2 Energy is developing a novel geothermal power generation system that uses CO2 as the working fluid instead of water or brine. The technology involves injecting CO2 into deep geological formations where it absorbs geothermal heat and rises to the surface via production wells, driving a thermosiphon effect. The heat is converted into electricity using a direct driven CO2 turbine system in a closed cycle, enabling continuous power generation and long-term CO2 storage. The system aims to demonstrate scalability through a pilot power plant. |
