GEA Releases Report on Emissions from Geothermal Plants (ThinkGeoEnergy)
As California is poised to implement Assembly Bill 32 and launch the state’s landmark cap-and-trade program, the
Geothermal Energy Association (GEA) has released a
report (PDF) detailing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions as they relate to geothermal.
The report highlights the nature of geothermal GHG emissions in general, as well as those in California, where the nation’s most extensive cap-and-trade program is set to take effect this week. It also notes that geothermal power plants offer an environmentally friendly option to conventional fossil fuel power plants.
