Geothermal Resources has undertaken a number of exploration projects for the purpose of harnessing geothermal energy. The current projects of the company are the Frome project (Curnamona Craton) and Penola-Robe project (South East SA).
Reykjanes geothermal power plant, developed by Enex, utilized two 50 MW turbines in order to produce 100 MW of electricity. Owned by HS Orka, this geothermal power plant is one of the first in the world to use such high temperature geothermal fluids. Once the brine has been extracted from the wells, it is sent to a steam separator. After the separation process, the steam is sent to a dryer under pressure conditions of 19 bars. Next, the steam is sent directly to the two 50 MW turbines.
Hot water, heating and cooling costs of a household can be reduced by a maximum of 60 per cent with the use of the Premier series from Eden Energy Equipment. These energy efficient systems provide 4 units of energy for every one unit of electricity supplied to them. Thus, the energy rating of the Premier series is measured to be about 400 per cent. With the help of the IntelliZone system used in these systems, customers can balance and regulate temperatures in different parts of a home.
The Pew Center for Global Climate Change recently published a white paper that reviews the DuPont-BP partnership on developing renewable energy sources.
