New Zealand opens the world's largest geothermal central
The New Zealand has just announced the completion of the largest geothermal power plant in the world. Designed by Mighty River Power, geothermal central Ngatamariki of 100 MW is the third geothermal project carried out in the country since 2008. The infrastructure is located near Taupo and is considered a strategic framework as an important achievement.Due to the complex nature of geothermal projects, the company has devoted more than a decade to build partnerships and more than €55 million ($ 165 million) in holdings before taking the decision to move towards the construction of the factory."Our commitment (...) for this project was only confirmed after we meet in each one of its fronts â€" and the long-term sustainability of resources and returns from our investors, "said Joan Withers, the Mighty River Power.The Ormat, company responsible for building the factory, says it is the largest installation of its kind in the world. Works by feeding power converters with high-temperature geothermal fluid (193 C). In this configuration, 100% of the geothermal fluid is reinjectado with zero water consumption and low emissions, minimizing the impact on the environment and without depleting the underground reservoir.Unlike other forms of sustainable energy, the geothermal energy is not dependent on climatic conditions, which means that it can be performed at any time, without interruption.The Inhabitat added that the five Mighty River Power's geothermal plants generate about 10% of the total annual electricity of New Zealand. The geothermal company initiative avoids the use of coal, sparing the country more than three million tons of carbon emissions per year.
