Preface Acknowledgments xv Recent national focus on the value of increasing our supply of indigenous, renewable energy underscores the need for reevaluating all alternatives, particularly those that are large and well distributed nationally. This analysis will help determine how we can enlarge and diversify the portfolio of options we should be vigorously pursuing. One such option that is often ignored is geothermal energy, produced from both conventional hydrothermal and Enhanced (or engineered) Geothermal Systems (EGS). An 18member assessment panel was assembled in September 2005 to evaluate the technical and economic feasibility of EGS becoming a major supplier of primary energy for U.S. baseload generation capacity by 2050. This report documents the work of the panel at three separate levels of detail. The first is a Synopsis, which provides a brief overview of the scope, motivation, approach, major findings, and recommendations of the panel. At the second level, an Executive Summary reviews each component of the study, providing major results and findings. The third level provides full documentation in eight chapters, with each detailing the scope, approach, and results of the analysis and modeling conducted in each area. The panel wishes to thank the many individuals who contributed significantly to this assessment. The presentations by representatives of the Department of Energy (DOE) and its national laboratories, as well as many other individuals and organizations, provided the panel with invaluable information and insight into the history and evolution of geothermal energy technologies and ongoing economic analyses and modeling. In particular, we would like to thank the following U.S. DOE and national laboratory staff: Roy Mink and Allan Jelacic: Office of the Geothermal Technology Program, U.S. DOE; Jay Nathwani: Office of Project Management, U.S. DOE; Joel Renner: Idaho National Laboratory; Gerald Nix: National Renewable Energy Laboratory; Craig Tyner, Steven Bauer, and Arthur Mansure: Sandia National Laboratories. Other contributors include: Hal Curlett: Deep Heat Energy Corp.; Roland Horne: Stanford University; Steven Karner and Gregory Mines: Idaho National Laboratory; Richard Polizzotti: ExxonMobil Research & Engineering Co.; Jared Potter and Robert Potter: Potter Drilling LLC.; Ann RobertsonTait: GeothermEx Inc.; Peter Rose: University of Utah; Subir Sanyal: GeothermEx Inc.; Debonny Shoaf: National Energy Technology Laboratory; Valgardur Stefansson: International Geothermal Association; Ralph Weidler: Qcon GmbH; Colin Williams: U.S. Geological Survey; P. Michael Wright: Idaho National Laboratory (retired); Doone Wyborn: Geodynamics Ltd.; and Hildigunnur Thorsteinsson: MIT. The panel would like to recognize and thank Gwen Wilcox of MIT for her hard work in organizing and planning committee meetings and report production along with Michelle Kubik for her diligent efforts and competent treatment in copy editing the manuscript. The chairman also wishes to recognize and thank the panel members for their exhaustive individual efforts in gathering information and writing sections of the report. Finally, the panel gratefully acknowledges the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of the Geothermal Technology Program for its sponsorship of this assessment.PDF Image | The Future of Geothermal Energy
