 Description: What is geo-pressure Quite simply, geo-pressure is a tried and tested technology that is used to generate carbon free electricity. It provides guaranteed security of supply and could save the UK a minimum of one million tonnes of carbon (1MtC) per year. It is already in use in Europe and North America. How does it work? A tiny bit of science; natural gas emerges from the ground under intense pressure and this pressure helps to drive the gas through the distribution network. Before the gas can be safely distributed to consumers, the gas pressure must be reduced using a pressure reduction station (PRS). We can harness the energy created from this pressure reduction, and use it to generate carbon free electricity, merely by installing a turbine generation system at some of these stations. There are over 2000 potentially suitable PRSs in the UK and the energy created by them is currently entirely wasted... Geo-pressure - some important statistics A collection of simple statistics and models designed to give the reader an immediate grasp of the potential of geo-pressure to help to tackle the problem of climate change...
