Here, concepts to lower the energy and power costs and, therefore, to increase the efficiency are to be identified. This is done by using external, not used energy from fossil sources as well as from renewable sources. The technical possibilities and challenges as well as the potential impact on energy generation costs are then discussed for these concepts.de1522-264020154426438Geothermal energyOrganic Rankine cyclePower and heatPower generationProcess optimizationJournal Article10.1002/cite.201400119Other
