EGS and Carbon Mitigation Strategies: Indian Scenario

Abstract

With growing concern on climate change and ever increasing CO2 emissions from coal fired power plants,countries across are looking for energy sources from the Earth. Heat mining from high heat generating granites is becoming a future technology to generate electric power and provide clean energy to the millions. It is estimated that such high heat generating granites in India have the capacity to generate energy equivalent of ~ 3x1022 BTU and bridge the gap between supply and demand of electric power
