Webinar – CO2 Plume Geothermal: Broadening the geothermal useful resource base with subsurface power and CO2 storage
Be a part of us for a webinar on the seventeenth of January on CO2 Plume Geothermal, a novel idea optimizing geothermal power extraction with mixed CO2 storage.
This coming Friday, 17 January 2025, we’re proud to be internet hosting one other version of the Deal with Geothermal Webinar collection that includes Carlo Cariaga of ThinkGeoEnergy and Martin Saar of ETH Zürich. This week’s webinar will probably be on “CO2 Plume Geothermal: Broadening the geothermal useful resource base with subsurface power and CO2 storage.”

Speaker: Martin Saar, Chair of Geothermal Vitality and Geofluids, Division of Earth and Planetary Sciences, ETH Zürich, Switzerland
Integrating CO2-Plume Geothermal (CPG) with Carbon Seize and Sequestration (CCS) enhances each geothermal power extraction charges and the capability and security of geological CO2 sequestration. Furthermore, the CPG expertise could be expanded to allow power-grid-scale power storage.
On this presentation, Prof. Saar will introduce CPG and the CPG Consortium, established in March 2023 inside the Geothermal Vitality and Geofluids group. The consortium goals to help business stakeholders in deploying the CPG expertise successfully.
Prof. Saar based the Geothermal Vitality and Geofluids group at ETH Zurich in 2015. The group investigates reactive subsurface fluid and power switch, starting from geothermal power extraction and conversion to CO2 sequestration and mixtures thereof. One such mixture is CO2-Plume Geothermal (CPG), which he named and co-invented. This idea combines CCS with geothermal power extraction, leading to full CCUS, as all initially injected CO2 remains to be geologically sequestered.
Prof. Saar obtained his MSc. in Geology in 1998 from the College of Oregon and his Ph.D. in Geophysics in 2003 from the College of California – Berkeley. After a Turner Postdoc place on the College of Michigan till 2004, he was Professor and Gibson Chair of Hydrogeology and Geofluids on the College of Minnesota till arriving at ETH Zurich ten years in the past in January 2015.
