Researchers combining CO2 storage and geothermal energy production

Green Car Congress

The CO 2 will then be pulled to the surface and fed into a turbine that converts heat into electricity. Between five and ten percent of the water injected in these systems is lost as it travels through the pore spaces. As this happens, more water must be added, perhaps from municipal sources that have little to spare.
