Scenario Setup
In the first step of scenario setup for mitigation adaptation of geothermal projects, the
attributes of infrastructure units should be known and inspected: vintage, fuel,
location, efficiency, and capacity. Any unit should be set to have a service lifetime
of 30 years. In the case of baseline, all stocks will retire in general. For greenhouse
gas emission, retrofitting in geothermal plants is measured at T0, the express time for
each measure of individual geothermal system.
Assessment Stage (Screening and Scoping)
At this point, global warming and vulnerability in the community were analysed.
Based on the security vulnerabilities analysis, different adaptive capacity studies are
required that can be improved by geothermal usage, by finding the supply of raw
resources and natural resources within a predefined range, such as agricultural
products and fisheries. Evaluation and scoping for vulnerability, adaptation requirements, and availability of geothermal resources should be concluded at this point,
and the related sectors/tasks should be clearly identified, with their commitment to
adaptation. Upon scoping, different utilization choices can be measured on the basis
of technological (e.g., cascaded infrastructure, MW productivity), economic (e.g.,
cost of production, tariffs, operational and maintenance costs), social (e.g., improvement in cultural well-being, healthy living standards), and environmental issues
(e.g., expected decrease of CO 2 -eq emissions and other benefits). At the end of a
particular evaluation procedure the benefits of adaptation need to be evident. The
synergies and trading expected must be explicit (Ogola et al. 2012b).
Implementation Stage
After the monitoring and scoping evaluation, various geothermal application activities are established to improve cultural change in ecologically sensitive sectors such
as agriculture, water supply, and aquaculture development. Introducing geothermal
power in these sectors will generate income streams for society. Although geothermal power initiatives qualify as mitigation strategies, geothermal energy development initiatives may be recorded as adaptation-portioned CDM projects. The CDM
programs would create new revenue sources with certified emission reductions
(CERs). Some of the CDM sales will go to society as profits or be invested back
in further geothermal adaptation initiatives, resulting in domestic and foreign technology transfer and local development of raw materials (Ogola et al. 2012b). As per
the Paris Agreement, a new technique will replace CDM, but its framework is not
understood at this time. The new projects were then subsequently assessed for their
264
