Featured article: Quantification of the effect of gas–water–equilibria on carbonate precipitation

Zacherl and Baumann tackle the problem of scaling in pipes and surface level installations, which affect operation costs in geothermal systems. In this work, they seek to improve quantitative predictions of carbonate precipitation through this addition to experimental data as well as a model framework to simulate stripping processes in geothermal systems.

Aims and scope

Geothermal Energy – Science, Society and Technology focuses on fundamental and applied research needed to deploy technologies for developing and integrating geothermal energy as one key element in the future energy portfolio. Contributions include geological, geophysical, and geochemical studies, exploration of geothermal fields, reservoir characterization and modeling, development of productivity-enhancing methods, and approaches to achieve robust and economic plant operation. Geothermal EnergyScience, Society and Technology serves to examine the interaction of individual system components while taking the whole process into account, from the development of the reservoir to the economic provision of geothermal energy.

Geothermal Energy & Geothermal Energy Science merger
