GreenFire Energy is developing CO2-based geothermal power (CO2GTM) using the St. Johns Dome as a unique site. CO2GTM aims to be less expensive than other geothermal by using CO2 as the working fluid. The St. Johns Dome provides geothermal heat and a large CO2 reservoir, near power plants. GreenFire plans to generate 800MW using natural CO2 and up to 4GW integrating carbon capture. They will seek funding and aim to demonstrate a 2MW plant in 5 years before commercializing in 50MW modules over 10 years. Risks include losing CO2 volumes and technical challenges, but the Dome alone has enough CO2 for 25 years of

An easily traceable scenario for GHG 80% reduction in Japan for local energy ...Masayuki Horio
To develop a scenario sure and easily traceable even for ordinary citizens toward the national challenge target of 80% CO2 reduction by 2050, we first developed a model to calculate the total CO2 emission corresponding to the final consumption and second developed an appropriate technology based scenario consisting of the following consumer oriented sub-scenarios: (1) energy saving through electrification of all transportation, (2) promotion of wood utilization for housing and household energy saving; (3) introduction of renewable energies; and (4) efficient energy utilization of wastes. Applying the scenario to Kyoto that has the similar strategies to our proposed scenarios, we found that about 80% CO2 emission reduction is possible just within the appropriate technology limit with the effect of population reduction and with the potential emission reduction from construction of private and public infrastructures, and that shifting our final consumption mode into low CO2 emission mode has a significant impact.

I was brought on to produce some high-fidelity wireframes for one section of a large travel app -- the checkout process after the user had selected a hotel. A lot of assumptions had to be made and many factors had to be carefully considered while creating the app flow and wireframes.
This is the support deck for an introductory class I made for Junior Designers, Developers, Product and Project Managers to introduce them to the proper way to use wireframes.
I did this class already multiple times at General Assembly (London, UK), TechLab (Santa Clara, CA) and internally in my consulting job.

3. Objective & Benefits: “CO2G™”
GreenFire’s goal is to develop, commercialize and produce a new
form of geothermal power
GreenFire calls this “CO2G™”
CO2 is the working fluid instead of water
Geothermal Resource: moderate depth & temp
Benefits:
Renewable, baseload energy
Low Production Cost
Permanent CO2 Sequestration
Low Water Consumption
Make-up energy for CCS
GreenFire will have:
Estimated multiple-year lead on competition
Large barriers to entry for competitors
4. Why should CO2G™ be less expensive
than other geothermal technologies?
Lower capital costs
Reduced need for cooling towers, pumps
Very low viscosity may reduce need for
hydrofracing (as compared to EGS)
More efficient at shallower depths ⇒ lower
drilling costs
Possible low-cost replacement for turbines
Lower operational costs
Thermosiphon effect reduces pumping
Expansion vs temperature more favorable
for CO2
5. Requirements for an ideal site
Good geothermal prospect
(St. Johns Dome overlies one)
Large volume of low cost CO2
(450 MM tons)
Good geologic “cap”
(St. Johns Dome even holds helium)
Fossil-fuel power plants for long-term CO2 supply
(local plants emit 19 MM tons per year)
Local connection into the power grid
(available at local power plants)
6. St. Johns Dome: Unique for CO2G™
Four Corners Region
No other comparable site identified in Coal-fired plant
Natural CO2
North America
Geothermal heat
Source of CO2
Proximity to power plants and electrical
transmission lines
No comparable site identified in Australia
Possible comparable sites in Europe
Insufficient information for other
continents St. Johns Dome
It is at the center of a great concentration
of CO2 sources (as carbon taxes are
implemented, this will come into play)
Natural CO2
7. Federal funding for green energy:
A unique funding window
CO2G™ sequesters CO2 by
losing working fluid into
formation (10 - 40% / year)
Significant competitive
advantage relative to other
EGS and geothermal
projects
May provide a source of
funding (through demonstration phase)
This is the 2009 funding picture; 2010 and
beyond will continue to be significant
8. Target Market
Initial target market: the power grid
Even if CCS technology is not mandated, GreenFire’s inexpensive power can be
sold to “the grid” for public consumption
Long-term target market: nearby coal-fired power plants
CCS systems require energy equal to 1/3 of a power plant’s output
Inexpensive baseload power required
GreenFire intends to use the CO2 from these plants to generate additional power
CO2G™ using all of the CO2 from a plant will produce approximately 1/3 of its output
Should CCS be mandated, carbon emitters will require cheap, baseload power as
well as a location to sequester their carbon – GreenFire will provide both
This makes GreenFire’s CO2G™ truly unique
2 major plants in immediate vicinity, 4 more in region, 600 in U.S., 3,000 worldwide
If this market never materializes, GreenFire will be successful with natural
(dome) CO2 and initial target market
9. CO2G™ Potential at The Dome
The size of GreenFire’s CO2G™ project depends on whether we use just
natural dome CO2 or add CO2 from CCS
CO2 Source CO2G Generating Potential (MW)
CO2 from Dome Only 800
Add CO2 from Local Generators 778
Add CO2 from Regional Generators 2362
Total CO2G potential 3939
Notes:
1. It is estimated that CO2G will generate 1/3 of a coal-fired power plant's capacity/output with all of its captured CO2 (not
applicable to the natural CO2 from the dome)
2. It is estimated that GreenFire's CO2G plant will operate 90% of the time
3. Local generating stations consist of Springerville and Coronado @ 2,333 MW total capacity
4. Regional generating stations consist of Cholla, Navajo, San Juan & Four Corners @ 7,085 MW total capacity
10. Summary: A uniquely compelling story
Uniquely suitable site for CO2-based geothermal
Geothermal heat plus CO2 availability
Nearby power plants
Nearby electrical transmission
Possibility of handling CCS from multiple plants
Unique funding opportunity
Large barriers to entry by others
Uniquely attractive for CCS funding and other federal
funding programs
12. Geothermal Technology Comparison
Conventional geothermal sites have been optimized
Not too many sites left in the world for development
Alternative geothermal technologies show tremendous potential
There is an endless supply of subterranean heat, if it can be tapped
GreenFire’s CO2G™ should have the lowest cost of the alternatives
Geothermal Technology Comparison
Heat Fracturing Pump through
Type Depth Working Fluid
Requirement Required? Formation?
Conventional Shallow Moderate to High Water In some cases Yes
EGS* Deep High Water Yes Yes
CO2G Shallow Moderate to High CO2 Possibly No
*EGS stands for “Engineered” or “Enhanced Geothermal Systems,” also known as “Hot Dry Rock” technology
13. Status & Opportunity
Technology Development Status: Nascent Stage
Initial site has been identified (St. Johns Dome)
Optimal site in North America
Binding agreement in place for exclusive development of the CO2
resource
Combine with Carbon Capture & Sequestration (CCS)
Intend to capture carbon from regional coal fired power plants
Success not dependent upon this goal; can succeed with only natural
CO2 deposit
4,000 megawatt opportunity
Opportunity with only naturally occurring CO2: 800 MW
14. Execution Strategy & Timeline
Phase I
Assemble technical development team (has been identified)
Submit grant apps for federal funding
Geophysics – drill core wells for data collection
24 months (opportunity exists to shorten schedule)
Phase II
Design, construction and operation of demonstration Plant, 2 megawatts
Success achieved by end of year 5
Lucrative exit opportunity for early stage investors
36 months (opportunity exists to shorten schedule)
Phase III
Large-scale commercialization; expand in 50 megawatt modules
Drive cost from $4MM per megawatt to $2MM per megawatt
800 megawatts by end of year 10 (natural CO2); 4,000 megawatts by end of year 20 (w/ CCS)
15. Funding Strategy
GreenFire intends to seek a mix of both private and
federal funding
Federal funding opportunity (all through DOE)
ARPA-E
Geothermal Funding Programs, both EGS and Conventional
Carbon Capture & Sequestration (CCS) Programs
Renewable Energy Loan Guarantees (for commercialization)
Remainder will require private investment
Power plants/utilities may augment private investment as CCS is implemented
Tucson Electric & Power (Units 1 & 2 at Springerville)
Tri-State Generation & Transmission (Unit 3 at Springerville)
Salt River Project (Unit 4 at Springerville and Coronado)
Arizona Public Service (Cholla)
16. Evaluation of Risks
Technology Risks: GreenFire’s CO2G™ technology is new
Risk: Loss of unexpectedly large volumes of CO2 into the geologic formation, thereby reducing
the amount of power that can be generated
Risk: It proves impossible to create the “thermosiphon” effect, which would result in higher
capital and operational costs
There may not be solutions to these risks; they would simply change the cost dynamics of the project
Business Execution Risks:
Risk: Additional wells may be need to be drilled if down-hole characteristics prove inadequate
Solution: There is a contingency fund built into the financial model
Risk: GreenFire’s current management team is not capable of bringing business to
commercialization
Solution: Additional management more experienced with deployment of large-scale energy projects is
incorporated into the company
Market Factors/Conditions Risks:
Risk: Local power plants can’t/won’t implement CCS
Solution: St. Johns has enough CO2 to run a geothermal power plant for 25 years at 17 MM tons per
year
