Mark Weiss's Company Details
DPG Geothermal is a unique geothermal energy development company. We develop versatile integrated geothermal solutions specifically designed to guarantee the success of the Owner/Investor/Client. Utilizing DPG Geothermal Enhanced Geothermal Heat Recovery (EGHR) In-Bore Heat Exchange (IBHX) technology we deliver success. As the leading developer utilizing this solution worldwide, we bring the skill, the knowledge and the technology to your project from pre-construction design through O&M for the life of the power plant.EGHR operates at lower temperatures (200° C - 400° C) than typical binary cycle geothermal. This expands greatly the areas that don't fall within a researched and designated geothermal resource area. Furthermore, geothermal resource areas are designated as such for the abundance of accessible hot ground water, steam or hot dry rock. EGHR only requires accessible hot rock with brine, water or steam to conduct the heat to the IBHX for electric power generation. In many cases EGHR can utilize exploration wells that proved insufficient for binary cycle plants.LOW BOTTOM HOLE TEMPSEGHR uses low temperature heat thus expanding greatly the locations where the technology can be deployed. Deployment in known geothermal resource areas lowers exploration cost considerably.LOW RISK EXPLORATIONChoosing a site known to have above normal geothermal heat such as seismically active areas around hot springs or existing geothermal resource areas mitigates exploration risk; lowers overall development cost.SHORT DEVELOPMENT CYCLEElimination of exploration drilling reduces development cost and shortens the schedule. Projects move from confirmation wells to production wells with completion in as little as 12 - 18 monthsLOWEST NET LCOECurrently geothermal energy generation is among the lowest LCOE of all energy sources today. EGHR is poised to be the lowest of all geothermal technologies currently deployed. At scale < $0.02 USD.
