Therefore, any sulfur dioxide emissions associated with geothermal energy derive from hydrogen sulfide emissions. 6.3. Can geothermal energy help reduce global warming? Geothermal power plants emit essentially no or very low levels of one of the most significant gases known to induce global warming: carbon dioxide. According to the Energy Information Administration (EIA), carbon dioxide accounts for 83% of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions; nitrous oxide and methane make up most of the remainder.(2) Experts generally agree that global warming poses significant environmental and health impacts, including flood risks, glacial melting problems, forest fires, increases in sea level, and loss of biodiversity.(3) Geothermal power plants emit none or only a small fraction of the carbon dioxide emitted by traditional power plants on a per megawatt hour basis, and can help reduce the overall release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere and emit no nitrous oxides or methane. Binary, air-cooled power plants have effectively zero emissions. 32PDF Image | Geothermal 101
