This is a good place to start, but we need to look into geothermal and small nuclear reactors for base load power. I am looking at the live energy production for Alberta right now. We have 5500 MW of wind turbines and we are generating 200 MW of energy and we have 13000 MW of natural gas and we are using 8000 MW of that right now. We have 1600 MW of solar and we are producing 1300 MW, so solar is more efficient at generating electricity than all those wind turbines, as I have never seen more than 50% generation of wind from what ever amount has been installed over time. I am all for clean energy, but it has to make sense for what is installed.

This story alludes to one of the two or three big areas of change we need. Smart grid software and hardware and AI can make a really big difference optimizing the use of the existing underutilized grid infrastruture and although the software and technologies exist there needs to be big changes in regulations and rules to enlist these techologies as tools to optmize an increasingly decentralized grid. We need better interies with energy storage - i.e. BC. We need energy storage and I agree with you there seems to be growing potential in geothermal to provide baseload power and at the same time it can help heat our buildings with no emissions.

I have a 1960 brick ranch in Ohio that I'm planning to remodel in the next few years. This definitely appeals to me, but I'm planning a total re-imagining of the entire house, including a whole new floorplan. All that will remain of the old house is the foundation and exterior walls. Even the foundation needs some work, as I need to lower basement floor to increase ceiling height and add code required egress. On order to go net-zero, I will need to remove brick facade (which I was planning to do anyway) and add exterior insulation and probably replace the entire roof with a non-vented design, since I want vaulted ceilings. It seems like it will be too much to to spend on a house that has limited market value, but it will be at least 60-70 percent less than building new. My biggest concern is finding a qualified and affordable contractor for the project.

As a retired engineer who has worked with energy systems for much of his life I don't see any big breakthoughs mentioned. Shallow ground loop systems (or drilled wells down to 60 meters) are common and old tech. Yes, it makes more sense to increase the scale to bring cost down on a per building basis. Higher temperature waters are available in certain locations in the world with up to 200 or so meter wells and are indeed used for industrial or larger district heating where available. Power generation is an entirely different game. Where the rocks and waters are hot enough.... they also tend to contain acids and other minerals that are very problematic to effectively use. I am aware of one Califorina power plant where everyone walks around in acid boots as there are sulfuric acid puddles everywhere. Work on any equipment requires acid suits, gloves, etc. Pipes and heat exchangers can plug up with mineral deposits as well. Extremely expensive to operate and maintain. If you drill a seveal km well and drop a pipe down it (threaded connections) the ground shifts over the years and you cannot remove and replace that pipe in the future when it goes bad. The reason no one has put much money into pursuing more power generation is because of the very real problems dealing with the corrosive rocks and water from such high temperature sources.

@@warrengaul2518 Good point. Although the point of Eavor’s closed loop deep geothermal is that it can work almost anywhere.

@warrengaul2518 23 күн бұрын

@@greenenergyfutures (Almost) we have colder ground water, so the closed loop system gets less efficient. We have this issue with all heat pumps (we are working on it). Geothermal is a net energy producer as you need to power the pumps that run constantly. Still, it depends on the system and how we use it. Combining solar and geothermal with high energy efficiency envelopes to set up a Net Zero Energy System is a good model. The economics of the system is where the balance tilts. So, keep paddling.

@greenenergyfutures 23 күн бұрын

@@warrengaul2518 Our shallow ground temperatures are cooler for sure. But EAVOR has built a pilot closed-loop deep geothermal project in central Alberta and it has consistently delivered heat for five years with very low variability. Ground source heat pumps work in Canada very well and a better insulated envelope can reduce your heat demand significantly. As for geothermal energy using EAVOR's closed loops they temperature of the earth rises fairly consistently as you go down. They are not looking for aquifers.

Thanks. Traditional well drilling uses a drill bit that physically grinds its way down. A developing technology using plasma drilling could be a game changer. Potential drilling depths could be greater than 10 km. The goal is getting deep enough to find rock that is 500 degrees C. When it comes to electrical generation for base load, geothermal can be throttled back for off peak hours. This is opposed to present nuclear technology that runs at a constant rate. Of course wide area distribution and batteries could soak up excess capacity.

@alberthartl8885 23 күн бұрын

GA Drilling's plasmabit is directional and would complement Eavor's closed loop system. Quaise Energy's mmwave system is a straight shot down as the gyrotron beam is non directional. Which system is best is not yet known. Hopefully we will know in about 24 months.

And another thing they do not let you know on this until you find out on your own rocket mess stoves get anywhere between 3000 and 4000° well over the melting point of steel so if a person can find a higher melting point steel it would work greatso that you wouldn’t have to replace things every 5 to 10 years since I melt metal barrels and steel barrels as a hobby I know that steel has a melting point between 1370° to 2500° just like if you are going to have your rocket stove on a concrete slab don’t be shocked if you’re concrete slab cracks because concrete you can apply heat to it before it cracks the average failing temperatures of heat being put on concrete before it cracks is anywhere between 150 to 200° Fahrenheit, so those that do Celsius that would be 65° to 93°C before concrete will crack and fail so I guess what I’m getting at is if you don’t want to have to replace it do your research on everything even where you’re putting it on just like a better way to keep that heat from dissipating into the ground use a inground thermal barrier, so insulation and concrete and batteries so that it will heat up that mass that the rocket stove is under wasting all that heat into the ground
