Greenhouse Gas emissions from California Geothermal Power Plants

Published by Argonne National Laboratory | Department of Energy | Catalog Last Checked: August 03, 2026 at 12:57 AM | Dataset Last Updated: June 05, 2017 at 05:07 PM
The information given in this file represents greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and corresponding emission rates for California flash and dry steam geothermal power plants. This stage of the life cycle is the fuel use component of the fuel cycle and arises during plant operation. Despite the fact that no fossil fuels are being consumed during operation of these plants, GHG emissions nevertheless arise from GHGs present in the geofluids and dry steam that get released to the atmosphere upon passing through the system. Data for the years of 2008 to 2012 are analyzed.
