At least one developer, meanwhile, is seeking financing for a field demonstration of carbon dioxide-based geothermal. technologyreview/news/416294/using-co2-to-extract-geothermal-energy/page/2/ In September, Salt Lake City-based geothermal developer GreenFire Energy announced a joint venture with small oil developer, Enhanced Oil Resources, to build a two-megawatt CO2-based demonstration plant near the Arizona-New Mexico border. The companies propose to commence drilling wells in 2010 to access hot rock underlying a natural underground carbon dioxide reservoir. They project that the location could yield enough heat to generate up to 800 megawatts of power and, in the process, could absorb much of the carbon dioxide generated by the six large coal-fired power plants in the region.
