Sentences with phrase «geothermal electricity production»

Geothermal Electricity Production This geothermal power plant generates electricity for the Imperial Valley in California.

Not exact matches

The latest figures show that on some days of the year the electricity being generated from sun, wind, biomass, water and geothermal production already accounts for more than half of the load required in the country.

Small (< 5 MW) geothermal projects could provide consumers with the same distributed power flexibility provided by solar and wind production with the additional benefit of being a more reliable base load source of electricity.

TEG technologies, however, have the potential to produce geothermal electricity without all the infrastructure — turbines, steam piping, etc. — thus making small scale production and geothermally - source micro power grids both practicable and affordable.

Following rapid recent growth, solar, wind, geothermal, and tide energies accounted for 4.2 % of world electricity production in 2014 and 18.7 % of total renewable electricity.

While total output from low carbon technologies, such as hydro, wind, solar, biomass, geothermal, and nuclear power, has continued to grow, their share of global primary energy supply has remained relatively constant; fossil fuels have maintained their dominance and carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) has yet to be applied to electricity production at scale.

Instructs the Secretary to assign 60 % of appropriated funds for any given year to facilities that use solar, wind, geothermal, or closed - loop (dedicated energy crops) biomass technologies to generate electricity if there are insufficient appropriations to make full payments for electric production from all qualified renewable energy facilities.

The U.S. Energy Information Administration includes the following in U.S. primary energy production: coal production, waste coal supplied, and coal refuse recovery; crude oil and lease condensate production; natural gas plant liquids production; dry natural gas excluding supplemental gaseous fuels production; nuclear electricity net generation (converted to Btu using the nuclear plant heat rates); conventional hydroelectricity net generation (converted to Btu using the fossil - fuels plant heat rates); geothermal electricity net generation (converted to Btu using the fossil - fuels plant heat rates), and geothermal heat pump energy and geothermal direct use energy; solar thermal and photovoltaic electricity net generation (converted to Btu using the fossil - fuels plant heat rates), and solar thermal direct use energy; wind electricity net generation (converted to Btu using the fossil - fuels plant heat rates); wood and wood - derived fuels consumption; biomass waste consumption; and biofuels feedstock.

It's fourth in net electricity generation, fourth in conventional hydropower generation, and first in terms of solar and geothermal energy production.
