AltaRock Energy integrates CO2 as working fluid
AltaRock’s President and Chief Technology Officer Susan Petty shows commercial leadership from her office in Seattle. AltaRock makes the link between geothermal and carbon dioxide as a working fluid. From Earthtimes earlier this month
GreenFire Energy (GreenFire) today announced that it has entered into a technology sublicense agreement with AltaRock Energy (AltaRock) for the core patent for using CO2 as the working fluid in a geothermal energy plant. The technology, which GreenFire refers to as “CO2G™,” will produce renewable geothermal energy while also sequestering large volumes of CO2. GreenFire intends to be the first company in the world to commercialize this technology. The sublicense gives GreenFire exclusive rights to the technology across a broad region centered on the St. Johns Dome, located in Apache County, AZ and Catron County, NM. It also gives GreenFire national non-exclusive access to the technology for the purposes of developing other sites, some of which have already been identified.
