enhanced geothermal system , EGS (Abkürzung)

Injection of water in enhanced geothermal systems may cause induced seismicity.

Enhanced geothermal systems can trigger earthquakes as part of hydraulic fracturing.

Techniques developed from Enhanced Geothermal Systems research will increase the production of the region in the future.

Induced seismicity in Basel led to suspension of its hot dry rock enhanced geothermal systems project.

The future outlook for expanded production from conventional and enhanced geothermal systems is positive as new technologies promise increased growth in locations previously not considered.

Enhanced geothermal systems are a new type of geothermal power technologies that do not require natural convective hydrothermal resources.

The development of binary cycle power plants and improvements in drilling and extraction technology may enable enhanced geothermal systems over a much greater geographical range.

This approach is called hot dry rock geothermal energy in Europe, or enhanced geothermal systems in North America.

Enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) fracture underground rock to produce more steam; such projects can cause earthquakes.

This process is similar to an artificial one known as Enhanced Geothermal System which also makes use of the high pressures and temperatures below the Earth's crust.

It is an enhanced geothermal system (EGS) project, based on Petratherm's "heat exchanger within insulator" model.

Geothermal Technologies Program - Enhanced Geothermal Systems (U.S. Department of Energy)

Power plants and thermal applications of geothermal energy are mature technologies, whereas enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) projects are a new type of application.

Enhanced geothermal systems that are several kilometres in depth are operational in France and Germany and are being developed or evaluated in at least four other countries.

One of their primary goals is to develop a 5 megawatt proof-of-principle demonstration of enhanced geothermal systems technology by 2015, and to validate the sustainability of this project by 2020.

Garner's current work is focussed on advanced cooling technologies for next-generation air conditioning and refrigeration; atmospheric CO2 capture for renewable, infrastructure-compatible liquid fuels; and enhanced geothermal systems.

Worldwide, the largest induced seismic event to date linked to Enhanced Geothermal System (EGS) activity was M3.7 in the Cooper Basin of Australia.

The Enhanced Geothermal System employed by Geothermal Engineering Ltd to generate power at United Downs targets volumes of rock that already exhibit enhanced permeability.

Enhanced geothermal system (EGS) technology does not require natural convective hydrothermal resources, so it can be used in areas that were previously unsuitable for geothermal power, if the resource is very large.

The US Department of Energy USDOE issued two Funding Opportunity Announcements (FOAs) on March 4, 2009 for enhanced geothermal systems (EGS).

The largest conventional resources for geothermal power in Canada are located in British Columbia, Yukon and Alberta; these regions also contain potential for Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS).

In 2008 the USDOE funded research in Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) to learn more about the fracture systems in geothermal reservoirs and better predict the results of reservoir stimulation.

AltaRock Energy Inc., headquartered in Seattle, Washington and having a technology development office in Sausalito, California, is a privately held corporation that focuses on the development of geothermal energy resources and Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS).

The primary objective of the NGSC is the completion of a technical report evaluating the potential of the Rio Grande Rift trend for hydrothermal, enhanced geothermal systems, and low-temperature resource production and identifying and prioritizing specific area(s) for development.

An area of about 500 square kilometers is being studied by Geovita together with the Earth Sciences department of the University of Coimbra's Science and Technology faculty, and the installation of an Enhanced Geothermal System (EGS) is foreseen.
