Pagosa Verde Model Plant
Low Temp Binary Process – all Geo fluid re-injected Private land and non-consumptive beneficial use. No greenhouse gases, no carbon footprint, no toxic
chemicals, no fracking. No surface or fresh water impacts – minimal water use. Small physical footprint – minimal infrastructure impact. Protects existing geothermal uses and stakeholders. Benefits tourism and does not impact our outdoor
industries and scenic assets. Drives economic growth through geothermal heat and
electricity: Community heating Greenhouses Aquaculture Business Attraction Incentives Green Technology Clusters

Geothermal Growth creates business for our utilities and our communities – with or without power generation.
The same exploration and test drilling needed to verify a power-worthy source validates other business development.
The number of jobs and economic stimulus from direct-use rivals the economic stimulus of power.

Advantages for Rural Coops
Reliable long-term base-load powerLow levelized costs.Community Scale plants provide
security and savings via distributed sources in remote locales.
Additional power customers.Harmonized with renewable
portfolio requirements.Harmonized with distribution
and transmission strategies – Scalable Technology.

THE COMMUNITY SCALE PAGOSA VERDE MODEL Replicable though out the rural west
LPEA AND TRI-STATE, THE COLORADO GEOLOGICAL SURVEY AND COLORADO SCHOOL OF MINES SUPPORT HAS BEEN VITAL TO THE PROJECT DEVELOPMENT
