Chapter 023, Environmental Impact of Geothermal Power Plants

NOTE: This is a single chapter excerpted from the book Geothermal Power Plants, made available for individual purchase. Additional chapters, as well as the entire book, may be purchased separately.

Now in its 3e, this single resource covers all aspects of the utilization of geothermal energy for power generation using fundamental scientific and engineering principles. Its practical emphasis is enhanced by the use of case studies from real plants that increase the reader's understanding of geothermal energy conversion and provide a unique compilation of hard-to-obtain data and experience.

Important new chapters cover Hot Dry Rock, Enhanced Geothermal Systems, and Deep Hydrothermal Systems. New, international case studies provide practical, hands-on knowledge.
