This article would benefit from some technical information including for example: - Typical steam operating pressures and temperatures; - power to run a facility (pumps, etc) as a percentage of the output power - typical sources of steam condenser cooling (as coal plants?) - typical water treatment issues, - etc... Links to data sources would be OK too. My reason to ask, as a development engineer, is that I know steam is not very efficient at converting heat into electricity, and would like to understand the potential to use the heat for a direct system to reduce CO2 emissions that would certainly be much more efficient. But I lack data. Any help would be much appreciated, and I think would enhance the understanding of other readers without overburdening them with excessive detail.

As many hydrocarbon multinational companies are shifting gears to 'energy' companies, areas of geologic hydrogen, geothermal resources and drilling technologies are a few fields of key interest these companied are looking into. From prior knowledge, the biggest investors in VC startups in drilling/geothermal are oil&gas companies.
My plan is two sections. 1) geothermal forecast 2) New emerging technologies in the space that have the potential to revolutionize geothermal power Houdarar13 ( talk) 04:11, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
