Does geothermal energy generate waste?

Geothermal energy does produce waste, 122kg of C02 per megawatt-hour.


Is geothermal energy cheaper than wind energy?

In short: no. Geothermal energy harnessing is still in its infancy compared to wind energy, and therefore, more expensive. Overall geothermal energy has been done on a very small scale, but technological breakthroughs need to occur before it can be successfully worldwide. Then again, with the U.S. energy industry being deregulated, wind energy can be more expensive than other energy types. For instance, when I lived in western Arkansas, I used OG&E as my energy provider, and they offered wind power for just 4.5 cents per kilowatt hour, which was half of a conventional plan. In Texas, providers generally charge 2 cents MORE per kilowatt hour for using purely wind power than conventional.


How efficient is geothermal energy in terms of energy output per?

Geothermal is a growing source of alternate energy, however geothermal is not as abundant an energy form to harness, being available in a remote location it is also expensive to transmit.


What is the kWh production per unit of geothermal energy?

50000 to 100000 Kw/ unit


The cost of geothermal energy to the consumers?

The cost of geothermal power is highly variable and dependent on such factors as rock formation geology (e.g. depth, temperature, water chemistry), site accessibility, cost of capital, local weather conditions (which affect the thermodynamic efficiency of the plant), permitting, land ownership (public v. private), transmission (getting the electricity into the grid), etc. The cost of building a new geothermal power plant is roughly $2.5m to $4.5m per MW installed capacity. The price of geothermal power when purchased through a power purchase agreement (PPA) currently ranges from roughly $85 to $110 per MWh, often with an escalator (e.g. 1% or 2% per year). The price increase passed on to the rate payer depends on the current energy portfolio of each utility company. Will geothermal replace fossil-fired (e.g. coal) plants? Or will geothermal supplement the existing portfolio? What percentage of power will come from geothermal? For example, if a large utility company currently supplies 9000 MW to its customers, adding a 20 MW geothermal plant to its portfolio will have little effect on electricity rates. Conversely, if a small, rural utility company supplying 100 MW chooses to replace 20 MW from coal with geothermal, rates will probably increase noticeably.

How many kilowatt per hour does a 10kilowatts generate?

There is no such thing as a "kilowatt per hour". Kilowatt is a unit of power, not of energy. A unit of energy is kilowatt-hour. That's kilowatt times hours, not "per" hour ("per" implies division, not multiplication). If a generator produces 10 kilowatts, that means it produces 10 kilowatt-hours every hour.

How do you calculate electricity bill from CT meter?

Take the amount of kWh that the meter states that you have used and multiply it by the cost of a kWh in your area.Another AnswerSubtract the energy meter reading from the previous billing period from that from the current billing period to determine the number of kilowatt hours used during that period. Multiply this difference by the cost per kilowatt hour charged by your energy provider. Note, however, some energy providers have a complicated billing system (tariff) in which the cost per kilowatt hour changes according to the amount of energy you use: x cents per kilowatt hour for the first so many kilowatt hours, y cents per kilowatt hour for the next so many kilowatt hours, and so on. Additionally, there may be a multiplication factor based on the changing price of fuel.

What is the cost per week of using a 40w light bulb for 36 hours in a week?

Not enough information - I don't know what your light company charges you per kWh. Here is how you calculate this: a) Convert the week to hours. b) Convert the watts to kilowatts. c) Multiply the result of part (a) by the result of part (b), to get the total number of kilowatt-hours. d) Get the cost per kilowatt-hour. Look at a bill from your power company. If the cost per kilowatt-hour is not stated explicitly, you can divide the total amount of dollars (or whatever) by the kilowatt-hours billed, to get the cost, in dollars per kilowatt-hour. e) Multiply the result of part (c) by the result of part (d).
