The lithological and tectonic configuration of Lake Abbe geothermal systems bear strong similarity to Tendaho geother Lake Abbe is part of ther Awash river basin and the entire surface run off of Awash discharges in to this lake. The geochemical signature of the Lake Abbe geothermal waters is similar to t bottom hole thermal waters of Tendaho geothermal province. A conservative estimate of 15 to 20 MWe for the thermal province reported. By using tapping all the geothermal provinces, Djibouti can become energy independent and improve the sociomillion euros under certified emision rate through clean development mechanism |
