Geothermal Air Emissions
Posted on December 18th, 2007 by Lawrence Molloy
From an article by staff at the Geothermal Energy Association. The point of comparison was Average Power Plant Emissions according to EPA 2000. Sulfur dioxide for geothermal is 1/10th of coal, but can be on par with natural gas. (Click on the table to enlarge.)
The CO2 emissions numbers are interesting, showing the release of gases associated with the water. They approach an order of magnitude of gas production. (10X less!)
