Geothermal fields in the Western part of Turkey are known for their significant carbon dioxide content that results in considerably high amounts of gas emissions from geothermal power plants during electricity production. Geothermal Emission COntrol (GECO) project aims to address this issue and minimize the amount of carbon dioxide emitted on the fields with similar characteristics around Europe. In the framework of the project, the emitted carbon dioxide is reinjected into the reservoir as a method of reducing carbon dioxide emissions to the atmosphere similar to the CarbFix method carried out in Iceland. One of the pilot reinjection fields of carbon dioxide was set up in the Kızıldere geothermal field in Turkey. The objective of this study is to measure the carbon dioxide fluxes on the surface and detect the leakage, thereby, ensuring that the injected carbon dioxide is trapped in the geothermal reservoir. An automated soil carbon dioxide flux system that utilizes accumulation chamber methodology is used. The flux values are measured at more than sixty station points at the Kızıldere field for two years to create a baseline before the carbon-dioxide gas-charged fluid injection. This study will guide for long-term monitoring of the carbon dioxide gas-charged fluid reinjection process. Furthermore, the technique provides a means of assessing the feasibility of the pilot carbon-dioxide injection process in geothermal fields.

Geochemical modeling of NCG injection in a geothermal well using doublet well model İlgin, Buğrahan; Akın, Serhat; Erol, Selçuk; Department of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (2021-7-29) Geothermal energy is regarded as an environmentally friendly source of energy. However, the amount of non-condensable gases (NCG), which are co-produced with brine, are significantly high in the geothermal fields of Turkey. To overcome the NCG emission produced by power plants, which is mainly CO2, one of the efficient methods is re-injecting the captured NCG into the reservoir. The ultimate aim of the reinjection is to mineralize CO2 in the reservoir as carbonate minerals. In this thesis, a reactive transp...
Parametric analysis of BIM-based building energy performance for supporting multi-objective optimization Can, Esra; Akçamete Güngör, Aslı; Department of Civil Engineering (2022-5-11) Building energy efficiency comes into prominence as buildings constitute a significant portion of world energy consumption and CO2 emissions. To achieve energy-efficient buildings, energy performance assessments should be conducted meticulously, yet it is difficult to comprehensively estimate the buildings’ energy consumption since energy performance assessments are complex multi-criteria problems that are affected by many factors such as building orientation, envelope design, climatic conditions, daylight ...
Structural controls on Kızıldere geothermal field, Denizli-Turkey Aksu, Baykan; Kaymakcı, Nuretdin; Department of Geological Engineering (2019) Kızıldere geothermal field is one of the hottest fields located in south-western Anatolia and electricity has been produced from geothermal source since 1984. This high enthalpy geothermal field is located at the eastern edge of Büyük Menderes graben, which is one of the most active extensional structure belonging to the western Anatolian graben-horst system. Büyük Menderes graben, which hosts numerous geothermal fields, is a 3 - 30 km wide, 170 km long, nearly E-W trending depression developed under the N-...
Pyrolysis and combustion behaviour of various fuels in oxygen-enriched air and CO2 atmospheres Yüzbaşı, Nur Sena; Selçuk, Nevin; Department of Chemical Engineering (2011) Oxy-fuel combustion technology, which is based on burning coal in a mixture of oxygen and recycled flue gas (RFG), is suggested as one of new promising technologies for capturing CO2 from power plants. In this thesis study, the pyrolysis and combustion behaviour of various fuels including imported coal, petroleum coke, two different types of indigenous lignites, olive residue and their blends with different proportions in air and oxy-fuel conditions were investigated by using non-isothermal thermogravimetri...
Assessment of the role of nuclear power on energy policies and climate change mitigation strategies of developing countries Güngör, Görkem.; Sarı, Ramazan; Department of Earth System Science (2020) Nuclear energy is considered as one of the climate change mitigation options in the energy supply sector by substituting electricity generated from base load fossil fueled power plants reducing GHG emissions. Internalizing the costs of CO2 emissions provides an additional economic incentive for investment in nuclear energy both in developed and developing countries. While developed countries with stable energy demand are focused on the robustness and resilience of their energy systems, the priority of devel...
