Background The development ofenhanced geothermal systems'(EGS), designed to extract
energy from deep low-enthalpy reservoirs, is opening new scenarios of growth for the whole …

Life cycle assessments (LCAs) quantify environmental impacts of systems and support
decision-making processes. LCAs are however time-consuming and difficult to conduct for …

Geothermal energy is a renewable energy source with large unexploited potential. Medium
enthalpy deep geothermal resources are commonly used in Europe to provide heat. Life …

This work presents a review of the studies applying life-cycle assessment (LCA)
methodologies to evaluate the environmental performance of enhanced geothermal systems …

Geothermal energy, alongside other low-carbon and renewable energies, is set to play a
key role in decarbonising the power generation industry to meet the Paris Agreement goal …

Technologies to produce electric energy from renewable geothermal source are gaining
