System Value & Grid Stability Visualizer
Compare firm baseload and variable renewables against real demand profiles to see the real system cost of intermittency.
System Value vs. LCOE
A positioning chart showing why low headline LCOE does not always translate into high grid value.
System Value & Grid Stability Visualizer
Compare the actual grid value of firm baseload versus variable renewables against real-world demand profiles.
Notice how much capacity you must overbuild just to meet the peak demand hours.

Geothermal & Subsurface
Subsurface Flow & Permeability Simulator
Test how permeability and pressure drawdown shape geothermal well flow rates and commercial viability.
Subsurface Thermal Estimator
Model bottom-hole temperature from gradient and depth to gauge whether a target reservoir is viable for heat or power.
Subsurface Flow & Permeability Simulator
Model the relationship between rock permeability, pumping pressure, and commercial flow rates.

kg / sCommercial Status
Flow rate is too low to sustain a commercial power plant. The parasitic pumping load will exceed the generated electricity.
Flow Rate vs. Pressure Demand
In tight rock, even massive, energy-intensive pumping pressures cannot achieve the ~80 kg/s threshold required for commercial power generation. This is why engineering fracture networks (EGS) is mandatory outside volcanic regions.
*Simplified Darcy's Law approximation. 80 kg/s represents a standard commercial threshold for a modern binary cycle geothermal power well.
Subsurface Thermal Estimator
Model bottom-hole temperatures and evaluate commercial viability based on regional geology.

Depth vs. Temperature Profile
The colored zones indicate the thermodynamic thresholds required for different industrial and municipal applications.
*Model assumes a constant surface temperature of 10°C and a linear conductive gradient. Actual convective hydrothermal systems may vary.
Carbon Storage & Transport.
Geological Storage & Injection Estimator
Translate storage capacity, injection rate, and well injectivity into reservoir lifespan and active well demand.
CO₂ Transport Logistics Estimator
Compare pipeline and shipping economics to see how volume, distance, and mode shift CO₂ transport cost.

Cumulative Storage Depletion
Visualizing the rate at which the target injection volume consumes the total available geological pressure space.
*Calculations assume a constant rate of injection. In reality, well injectivity declines over time as reservoir pressure increases, often requiring additional \"makeup\" wells to maintain the target Mtpa.

Calculate the levelized transport cost of CO₂ routing via pipeline versus maritime shipping.

Pipelines offer immense economies of scale but carry high CapEx penalties over long distances. Ships incur high terminal fixed costs (liquefaction) but scale highly efficiently across vast maritime distances.
