Input: [Criteria] Technology [Description]

Output: Supercritical CO2 as working fluid in enhanced geothermal systems (EGS)

2. Description of short-listed technologies | Decarboni.se


Input: [Criteria] Proponents [Description]

Output: GreenFire Energy / Enhanced Energy Resources (Joint Venture)Geodynamics LimitedSymmyx Technologies

2. Description of short-listed technologies | Decarboni.se


Input: [Criteria] Description [Description]

Output: Supercritical CO2 is circulated as the heat exchange fluid (or working fluid) instead of water or brine to recover the geothermal heat from the reservoir. The CO2 may also be used directly as the power cycle working fluid in a supercritical CO2 turbine before being sent back to the reservoir.

2. Description of short-listed technologies | Decarboni.se


Input: [Criteria] Products [Description]

Output: Geothermal energy for use in electricity generation

2. Description of short-listed technologies | Decarboni.se


Input: [Criteria] CO2 utilisation per tonne of product output [Description]

Output: Based on long term reservoir pressurisation/fluid loss studies-potential capability to continuously sequester 24 tonnes of CO2 per day per MWe by fluid diffusion into the rock mass surrounding the HDR reservoir. However, this will be site specific.

2. Description of short-listed technologies | Decarboni.se


Input: [Criteria] CO2 source [Description]

Output: CO2 in a pure, dehydrated state (industrial grade), suitable for compression

2. Description of short-listed technologies | Decarboni.se


Input: [Criteria] Technology status (includes project status) [Description]

Output: Status of EGS – Pilot projects are currently either operational or under development in Australia, the United States, and Germany. However EGS using supercritical CO2 is at a very early stage of development and is yet to be tested at demonstration scale.(1) Joint venture of GreenFire Energy with Enhanced Oil Resources plan to build a 2MW CO2 based demonstration plant near the Arizona-New Mexico border. Drilling of wells to access hot rock is proposed to commence in 2010. The proposed location is projected to yield enough heat to generate 800 MW of power with potential to absorb much of the CO2 generated by six large coal-fired plants in the region.(2) Geodynamics Limited Innamincka ‘Deeps’ Joint Venture with Origin Energy: a 1 MW power plant has been constructed at Habanero. Electricity generation is expected to occur by early 2012 following the successful completion of Habanero 4 and Habanero 5 (reservoirs). This will be the first enhanced geothermal system in Australia.Due to make final investment decision on proposed $300 million, 25MW geothermal demonstration plant in the Cooper Basin by early 2013, after 12 months of successful operation of the Habanero closed loop. (This is two years later than previously stated).Testing the use of supercritical CO2 as the working fluid in geothermal systems is projected to commence in 2013.

2. Description of short-listed technologies | Decarboni.se


Input: [Criteria] Funding/support [Description]

Output: U.S. Department of Energy recent award of US$338 million in federal stimulus funds for geothermal energy research.

2. Description of short-listed technologies | Decarboni.se


Input: [Criteria] General benefits [Description]

Output: The significant density difference between the cold SCCO2 in the injection well and the hot SCCO2 in the production wells provide a large buoyant drive (thermal siphoning) and markedly reduce the circulating pumping power requirements of a water-based Hot Dry Rock (HDR) system.Inability of SCCO2 to dissolve and transport mineral species from the geothermal reservoir to the surface would eliminate scaling in the surface equipment (piping and heat exchangers).HDR reservoirs with temperatures > 375ºC (the critical temperature for water) could be developed without problems associated with silica dissolution.Much larger flow rates can be achieved with CO2 than can be achieved with water due the lower viscosity of CO2.

2. Description of short-listed technologies | Decarboni.se


Input: [Criteria] General barriers [Description]

Output: EGS for power generation is still relatively novel technology and remains to be proved on a large scale.The lifetime of HDR geothermal system may be difficult to prove.There are a number of significant issues that need to be resolved. These include the geochemistry of supercritical CO2, the corrosive conditions that arise with CO2 in contact with reservoir water, and long term effects in terms of reservoir connectivity, the source of CO2, the long term retention of CO2, and design and optimisation of power generation systems to work with supercritical CO2.CO2 has a lower specific heat capacity than water, and so greater flows are required to achieve the same heat extraction.Potential barriers to implementation include access to CO2 at an acceptable cost, proximity of the EGS to the electricity grid, and access to cooling water.Similar issues related to long term responsibility for the resultant reservoir, including the liability for future CO2 leakage.There is concern in the Geothermal industry that carbon capture/CCS is a transitionary technology and availability of CO2 in the very long term is raised as a concern.

Input: [Test] Serum Creatinine [Normal Levels] The normal serum creatinine range for men is 0.5-1.5 mg/dL. The normal range for women is 0.6-1.2 mg/dL. [What it Means]

Output: Creatinine is a waste product that is made when your body breaks down protein you eat and when muscles are injured. A high serum (blood) creatinine level means kidney damage. Creatinine levels may vary somewhat, even when the kidneys work normally. So, your doctor should check your level more than once before diagnosing CKD. Creatinine levels tend to be higher in men and people with large muscles. Measuring creatinine is only the first step to finding your level of kidney function.

Kidney Disease Info | Common Lab Values | Life Options


Input: [Test] Creatinine Clearance [Normal Levels] Normal creatinine clearance for healthy men is 97-137 mL/min. Normal creatinine clearance for healthy women is 88-128 mL/min. [What it Means]

Output: Creatinine clearance is a test sometimes used to estimate filtering capacity of the kidneys. The amount of creatinine in your urine is compared to the amount of creatinine in your blood. Your doctor may test your urine by asking you to collect your urine for 24 hours in a special container.

Kidney Disease Info | Common Lab Values | Life Options


Input: [Test] Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) [Normal Levels] Healthy adults have a GFR of about 140*; normal is greater than 90. Children and the elderly usually have lower GFR levels. A GFR less than 15 is kidney failure. *GFR is reported in mL/min/1.73 m2. [What it Means]

Output: GFR is a more accurate way to measure how well your kidneys filter wastes from your blood. Your GFR gives your doctor an idea of the speed at which your kidneys are failing, and whether you are at risk for complications of kidney disease. GFR can be estimated from serum creatinine, using a formula.

Kidney Disease Info | Common Lab Values | Life Options


Input: [Test] Urine Albumin [Normal Levels] In a 24-hour urine sample, a normal level is less than 30 mg/day. [What it Means]

Output: Inside healthy kidneys, tiny filtering units called nephrons filter out wastes but keep in large molecules, like red blood cells and albumin (protein). Some kidney diseases damage these filters so albumin and other proteins can leak into the urine. Protein—albumin—in the urine can be a sign of kidney disease. Albumin can be measured with a urine dipstick or a 24-hour urine collection to find out how much protein is "spilling" into the urine. Albumin levels can increase with heavy exercise, poor blood sugar control, urinary tract infections, and other illnesses.

Kidney Disease Info | Common Lab Values | Life Options


Input: [Test] Microalbuminuria [Normal Levels] Urine in healthy people contains from 30mg/L to 300mg/L of albumin. [What it Means]

Output: Microscopic amounts of protein too small to be measured with a standard dipstick test can be an early sign of kidney disease—especially in people with diabetes. Special dipsticks or laboratory tests can find microalbuminuria. The American Diabetes Association guidelines recommend that anyone with type 1 or type 2 diabetes have a test for microalbuminuria at least yearly.

Kidney Disease Info | Common Lab Values | Life Options


Input: [Test] Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN) [Normal Levels] The normal BUN level for healthy individuals is 7-20 mg/dL in adults, and 5-18 mg/dL in children. Patients on dialysis have higher BUN levels, usually 40-60 mg/dL. The nephrologist (kidney doctor) and dietitian will help determine whether the BUN is in the correct range. [What it Means]

Output: Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN) is another measure of wastes (urea) in the blood. Urea is produced from the breakdown of protein already in the body and protein in your diet. A high BUN usually means that kidney function is less than normal, but other factors may affect the BUN level. Bleeding in the intestines, congestive heart failure, and certain medications may make the BUN higher than normal. As BUN rises, symptoms of kidney disease may appear, such as a bad taste in the mouth, poor appetite, nausea, and vomiting. In dialysis, BUN is used to measure whether a person is receiving the correct amount of dialysis. Sometimes a low BUN may also mean that you are not eating enough protein.

Output: Katydid being parasitized by a Tachnid Fly Microcentrum retinerve / Orthoptera This male Katydid has just been doomed to death by this female Tachnid Fly. When the parasitic fly swooped down to lay her egg on the katydid he struggled to avoid her, notice how his abdomen is pulled up toward his thorax. The egg will hatch a small maggot which will bury into the katydid to eat him alive. These flies will parasitize caterpillars too. Katydids, grasshoppers, and crickets are in the order Orthoptera, which means "straight-wing".

These structures act as stabilizers for the insect. The other way to know if an insect is a true fly is in its name, if the word "fly" is a separate word it is a fly (i.e. "house fly"). If the word "fly" is connected it is not a true fly (i.e. "dragonfly").

Insects don't see one image per facet, they see objects in a distorted, somewhat blurred view. They are very sensitive to movement however, that's why it's so hard to swat a fly! It is interesting how the compound eyes refract the light into many different colors on some insects! This Deer Fly is probably a male, due to the fact the eyes nearly meet a the center of the head.

Output: A housefly's mouth, called a proboscis, is like a ridged sponge. When it eats it regurgitates a bit of stomach fluid, and part of its' last meal, on its food (a nice thought, especially if the last meal was a cow patty or a dead opossum!!!). Enzymes in the stomach fluid help liquify the new meal which will also be lapped up by the sponge-like mouth. Note the hairs on the fly's body, these hairs make flies very good at spreading germs. The ants in this photo were drinking oozing tree sap. I was very anxious for a warm day to go out and find insects to photograph with my new macro lens, I really was desperate if I had to settle for ants and a fly!

Output: No, this is not a small snake or a large worm, it is a moving mass of Fungus Gnat larvae (Sciaridae spp.)! A group of campers at my 2005 science camp found these migrating maggots crossing the road the day after a big rain. The cohesive mass moved as a group to take on the appearance of a larger organism as a method of protection. I was thrilled to learn that Fungus gnats are responsible for pollinating Jack-in-the-Pulpit flowers! Cool! Gnats, other flies, beetles, bees, ants, and many other insects go through complete metamorphosis. "Meta" means change, "morpho" means shape. All insects start out their life in the egg stage. An insect that goes through complete metamorphosis hatches from the egg as a larva. The larva is the "eating, pooping, growing and molting" stage of the insect's life. Some insects gain several thousand times their hatching weight and grow greatly in length at this stage. After molting up to 5 times the larva goes through the next stage of major changes. The larva sheds its' skin and becomes a pupa, in butterflies this is a chrysalis, in a moth it is a cocoon. In the pupa stage the insect becomes a soupy mix of rearranging cells, in time a new mouth, a different body shape, internal organs and wings develop. Soon the adult emerges from the larval stage. Some adult insects live for a very short time, some have no mouth and don't eat. Only adult insects have wings and are able to breed.

Output: Male and Female Crane Flies Tipula bicornis / Diptera May 11, 2007 Crane flies look like giant mosquitoes, but they do not bite. The female is the fly on the left, she has a thicker and more pointed abdomen. The male's abdomen has claspers for mating. True flies are in the order Diptera, meaning "2-winged"; all other winged insects have 4 wings. Flies have small, knobbed vestigal wings called "halteres" which are used as stabilizers. The halteres are not visible on these insects. True flies have the name "fly" as a second word, as opposed to a butterfly or dragonfly which are not flies.

Output: Fly Parasitized by fungus Entomophthora muscae (fungus) Great Smoky Mountains NP August 9, 2008 After a lunch stop at a parking area on Clingman's Dome Road during the 2008 Bugguide Gathering, I noticed several dead flies attached to leaves along a trail. The Entomophthora muscae fungus attacks the fly's internal organs, "saving" the brain for last. Just before the fly succumbs to the fungus it climbs to the top of a leaf. The pale fungus and white "spore cases" can be seen on the fly's abdomen. By causing the fly to climb to the end of a leaf, the fungus has a better chance of spreading its spores to uninfected flies nearby. Oooh, it is almost like a "B" science fiction movie!

Output: Asian Tiger Mosquito Aedes albopictus / Diptera August 13, 2007 While I was taking pictures of the ladybug pupa I felt something on my leg, I looked down and saw this mosquito getting ready to bite me. I had been wanting a photo of a mosquito for this gallery, so this was the only time I have ever wanted a mosquito to land on me! Had I not squashed her after taking this photo (I do have my limits!), she would have probed around with her mouthparts in search of a capillary under my skin. Her mouth has 6 small needle-like stylets for injecting and drinking. Once she located a capillary she would have injected an anticoagulant to keep my blood from clotting, then she would have proceeded to drink her fill. The problem with mosquitoes is that they can spread diseases such as Dengue Fever, West Nile Virus, Yellow Fever, Heartworm, Malaria and Equine Encephalitis from infected animals and people. Malaria is not a problem in the U.S., but it is widespread in the warm third world countries. It is spread from person to person through the bites of mosquitoes. Only the females bite, they need a protein-rich blood meal to nourish their eggs which will be deposited in standing water. I guess I need to change the water in my birdbath more often! Unfortunately, the white stripes on the legs are not visible in this photo, that is a good indicator of this species of mosquito. (See next photo to see the stripes)

Output: Mosquito larvae These mosquito larvae were photographed in a drip pool under a rock ledge along the Piney River. The white dot at the end of the abdomen is where their "breathing tube" opens at the surface of the water. At this point of their life, mosquitoes are filter feeders, eating algae and small bits of food in the water. The 2 brush-like mouthparts are visible on the heads of these larvae. It is when they become an adult that the females begin to take a blood meal. Male mosquitoes eat plant juices and nectar. If you have ever wondered what good a mosquito is, the larvae are an important food source for many aquatic animals and the adults feed lots of birds, dragonflies and other animals.

I'm sure the other guests at the hotel wondered why I kept flashing my camera as I tried to get photos like this. ***Update*** I finally got an answer to this mystery via Dr. Frans Janssens, an entomologist in Belgium I contacted through Bugguide.net! Here is an excerpt from his email. It confirmed what I had suspected. "The large everted forward directed body part is the aedeagus, the male 'external'reproductive organ. The phallus, so to speak. In Diptera the aedeagus can become quite large. It is an everted inflatable copulation structure. In the picture the aedeagus is everted in the correct position for copulation. I have no idea what the brown liquid is about and why the midge dips its abdomen in it."

Output: Swarming Chironomid Midges These tiny flies can make an autumn afternoon hike interesting when you have to walk through a swarm of them. Fortunately, even though they look like mosquitoes, they do not bite! They are often seen near rivers and slow-moving creeks. I photographed this swarm next to the river below Norris Dam. The swarms are made up mostly of males listening for the frequency of a female's wingbeats. Mated females lay their eggs in water. I often find the tiny worm-like larvae in pond and lake water when I teach my microscope class. See next photo for a larger swarm.

I didn't realize how fuzzy they are until I zoomed in on this one with my macro lens, it is not hard to see why they are called a "Moth Fly". That name doesn't sound quite as gross as "Sewer Gnat"!

The smaller fly (maybe a Biting Stable Fly? Stomoxys calcitrans) is trying to get in on the blood-eating action. It often seems that flies are out to get us when we go outdoors and they are! The good news is that only female flies bite and only a few of those are the blood sucking type. Houseflies have lapping mouthtypes, they don't bite. So, it's not as bad as it may seem! :)

I snapped this photo before my brother swatted them as they munched on his leg! To be so tiny (<1/8"), these biting midges sure can cause a lot of discomfort. They have little piercing mouthparts that they use to drink blood; their bites are not painful, just highly annoying! Like mosquitoes, the females must have a blood meal in order to lay their eggs. Their bites can leave small red spots on the skin.

This was a really beautiful dragonfly, I enjoyed watching them cruising the edges of the lake.

Output: Blue Dasher Dragonfly Pachydiplax longipennis I found this dragonfly at the pond at Haw Ridge. Like all insects, the eyes on a dragonfly are compound. The 50,000 individual eyes make up much of their head so they can see their prey in nearly all directions. They are sometimes referred to as "mosquito hawks" because they catch the insects in midair; they can fly at speeds up to 35 mph.

Output: This male White Tail Dragonfly (Plathemis lydia)was one of many at the pond at Haw Ridge. I was surprised to see that this dragonfly has something in common with my daughter, her name is Lydia! Male dragonflies are very territorial, they will chase other males away, especially if their mate is nearby. The females dip their tails in the pond to lay their eggs. Sometimes they can be seen trying to lay their eggs on silver-colored car surfaces! The nymph, called a naiad, will hatch from the egg, it lives in the pond for a year or more, eating, growing and molting up to 5 times.
