On the limitations of closed-loop geothermal systems for electricity generation outside high-geothermal gradient fields
Abstract Closed-Loop Geothermal Systems (CLGS) involve connecting the injection and production wells through several borehole-sized parallel laterals instead of circulating a working fluid through a fracture network. Companies have garnered millions of dollars in investments on the claim that CLGS i...
