GECO (site 3)

  • Project Description

    GECO: Geothermal Emission Gas Control. The core of this project is the application of an innovative technology, recently developed and proved successfully at pilot scale in Iceland, which can limit the production of emissions from geothermal plants by condensing and re-injecting gases or turning the emissions into commercial products. This will be applied by GECO in four distinct geothermal systems in four different European countries (Iceland, Turkey, Germany, Italy).
