While the cost of most capacity is above 85 $/MW e -h, there is approximately 500 MW e of potential using water at about 75 $/MW e -h and 275 MW e of potential using CO 2 at about 68 $/MW e -h. These capacities are non-negligible percentages of total geothermal capacity in the U.S.: 13% with water and 7% with CO 2 . In other words, Figure suggests that the exclusion of sedimentary basins from geothermal resource assessments has possibly resulted in overlooking substantial opportunities to profitably generate dispatchable renewable electricity. Especially considering that our capacitycost estimates do not assume any technological breakthroughs, like required for EGS facilities.
