| Abstract | Harnessing clean geothermal energy from Hot Rocks or Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) using water /superheated steam for electricity generation is progressing well in Australia and worldwide. This paper investigates the feasibility of using carbon dioxide (CO2) instead of water as EGS heat transmission fluid which has the potential additional benefit of CO2 geosequestration of significant scale. |
