TY  - JOUR
AB  - It  is  often  assumed  that  geothermal  energy  provides  a  clean  source  of  renewable  energy  without  emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) or other greenhouse gases.  In fact, most geothermal energy plants emit CO2 and small amounts of other gases, typically up to 5% of by weight. Reinjection of produced CO2  back  into  the  geothermal  fields  has  been  proposed  by  several  researchers  in  the  past.  The  EU  funded  CarbFix  and  CarbFix2  projects  have  successfully  demonstrated  that  CO2  reinjection into basaltic rocks can provide a safe and efficient geological storage method. The ACT Programme funded SUCCEED  project  is  focused  on  understanding  the  effects  of and  developing  technologies  to  enable  reinjection  of  produced  CO2  at  geothermal  plants  in  different  geological  settings.  Monitoring  the  process is vital to understand the effects, possibilities and limitations of injection but the availability of  suitable  sensors  is  limited  in  high-temperature  and  harsh  environments.  This  problem  can  be  overcome  with  the  use  of  distributed  fibre-optic  sensors  which  are  able  to  withstand  such  harsh  environments  and  record  temperature,  seismic  and  strain  signals.  This  article  describes  actual  and  planned deployments of Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) technology at the Hellisheidi and Kizildere geothermal  fields  in  Iceland  and  Turkey,  respectively,  and  outlines  the  practical  considerations  for  such deployments.
