| Abstract | Drilling geothermal wells generates significant amounts of metal waste, which contributes to environmental degradation when not properly handled. It is against this backdrop that this proposal is made to recycle metal waste for use in other applications or geothermal drilling operations. This will also take advantage of the idle power associated with geothermal systems. This, when implemented, will generate additional revenue for organizations involved and also greatly improve environmental preservation. |
