Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Geothermal Power Production

Geothermal power production may result in significant greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. GHG emissions from geothermal power production, mostly in the form of CO2, are generally low in comparison to traditional base load thermal energy power generation. However, as the geothermal sector has expanded, a wider range of geothermal resources have been brought into exploitation, including geothermal systems with relatively high GHG concentrations in the reservoir fluid. Recent data from Italy (Mt. Amiata) and a number of sites in Turkey show that GHG emissions from geothermal power plants can be higher than 500 g/kWh and in some cases higher than 1000...

Deploying Storage for Power Systems in Developing Countries : Policy and Regulatory Considerations

This report provides a brief overview of the role of energy storage against the background of current trends in power systems with a particular emphasis on developing countries. It introduces the different ways in which storage can help meet policy objectives and overcome technical challenges in the power sector, it provides guidance on how to determine the value of storage solutions from a system perspective, and discusses relevant aspects of policy, market and regulatory frameworks to facilitate storage deployment. The document is intended to highlight relevant issues, provide guidance to policymakers and regulators in this relatively new area and identify...

Warranties for Battery Energy Storage Systems in Developing Countries

In developing countries, battery storage is becoming a viable way to increase system flexibility and enable more integration of variable renewable energy. Battery energy storage systems (BESS) respond rapidly to control signals, are easy to deploy, and are benefiting from cost reduction trends. New battery technologies have valuable attributes that are well suited to the needs of developing countries. However, they have a rather short track record in terms of deployment and operation, and this can hamper efforts to reassure buyers and investors that these new technologies will perform reliably over their project life. Conditions found in some developing countries...
