Geothermal Energy Impact Estimator: A software application for estimating the life-cycle environmental impacts of geothermal energy

Geothermal energy is a renewable source of base-load power that is expected to play an important role in the transition to a low-carbon economy. In this article, we introduce a novel software application – named Geothermal Energy Impact Estimator – which computes the environmental impacts, including...
