Geothermal Energy - Levelized Cost of Cold

"This map shows, for each grid cell, the Levelized Cost of Cold [c$/kWh] generated by the following systems:
  • Cooling Absorption System;
  • Refrigeration Absorption System;
The maps refer to:
  • base case scenario;
  • upside scenario, modelling a better fluid flow;
  • up up side, modelling both better fluid flow and higher underground temperatures.
These layers are part of the Geothermal Atlas for Africa developed within the LEAP-RE project"
