Emission Factor

Deep well - for geothermal power - onshore - 6000m (market for deep well - for geothermal power - onshore - 6000m)

Emission factor summary

Emissions generated by the activity within the product supply chain as described in ecoinvent v3.10. This is an immobile infrastructure representing the drilling of a borehole of 5 500m depth and 6 000 m length for geothermal power generation in an unspecific rock formation. The infrastructure represent a rotary drilling technology used for the exploitation of the deep rock formations similar to the oil and gas production. It is assumed to have a lifetime of 50 years. The process includes all energy uses materials and emissions for drilling of an onshore borehole and finishing of the well but excludes needed materials and energy use for closure of the well after its use the different rock characteristics and land use. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is market activity. The reference product amount is 1.
