The Earth houses a vast energy supply in the form of geothermal resources. Domestic resources are equivalent to a 30,000-year energy supply at our current rate for the United States! In fact, geothermal energy is used in all 50 U.S. states today. But geothermal energy has not reached its full potential as a clean, secure energy alternative because of issues with resources, technology, historically low natural gas prices, and public policies. These issues affect the economic competitiveness of geothermal energy On May 16, 2006, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) in Golden, Colorado hosted a geothermal resources workshop with experts from the geothermal community. The purpose of the workshop was to re-examine domestic geothermal resource estimates. The participating experts were organized into five working groups based on their primary area of expertise in the following types of geothermal resource Findings by Resource Category Shallow Hydrothermal (Identified) >90 ̊C/94 ̊F Shallow Hydrothermal (Unidentified) >50 ̊C/302 ̊F Co-Produced & Geopressured2 Deep Geothermal4 Direct Uses5 Geothermal Heat Pumps6 GHP6 Avoided Power or application: (1) Hydrothermal, (2) Deep Geothermal Systems, (3) Direct Use, (4) Geothermal Heat Pumps (GHPs), and (5) Co-Produced and Geopressured. Geothermal resources are categorized in several layers of accessibility and feasibility, from broadest criteria (i.e., total physically available), to criteria that includes technical and economic considerations. The total resource base is scaled downward to accessible resource, and finally to a category called developable resource (see p. 4 for explanation). The table below shows estimates for the different geothermal resource categories, as compiled by the workshop experts. These estimates show the enormous potential of the U. S. geothermal energy resource. New low-temperature electric generation technology may greatly expand the geothermal resources that can be developed economically today. Executive Summary Estimated Developable Resource* Estimated Accessible Resource (MWe) 2006 (Actual MWe) 205 (MWe) 2025 (MWe) 2050 (MWe) 30,000 2,800 10,000 20,000 30,000 120,000 TBD TBD TBD >100,000 23 10,000 to 15,000 70,000 >100,000 1,300,000 to 13,000,000 0 1000 10,000 130,000 Thermal Uses (MWt) (MWt) (MWt) (MWt) >60,000 620 1600 4,200 45,000 >1,000,000 7,385 18,400 66,400 >1,000,000 120,000 880 2,100 8,000 120,000 * Please note that these resource estimates represent a consensus of a group of experts who considered existing resource assessments (referenced on next page). There is considerable uncertainty in the estimates as many resources are hidden and exploration to date has been relatively limited. The figures shown above are not a resource assessment, but, even with uncertainty, clearly show that the U.S. geothermal resource is a very large and important domestic energy source.PDF Image | Geothermal Under Our Feet
