Rising Fortunes (Mongillo and Bromley, 2010b) was also provided for the IEA OPEN Bulletin (June 2010). Use of Geothermal Energy and the Environment (Annex I) Geothermal is a renewable energy source, has major benefits relative to fossil fuels with respect to global carbon dioxide emissions, and accordingly has significant potential for reducing global warming effects. Its use is mostly environmentally benign. However, there are some local environmental problems associated with geothermal utilization. To further the use of geothermal energy, it is important to identify possible adverse and beneficial environmental effects, and devise and adopt measures to avoid or minimize adverse impacts, while encouraging the benefits. Annex I- Environmental Impacts of Geothermal Energy Development activities aim to encourage the sustainable development of geothermal energy resources in an economic and environmentally responsible manner; to quantify and balance any adverse and beneficial impacts that geothermal energy development may have on the environment, and to identify ways of avoiding, remedying or mitigating adverse effects. The sustainable use of geothermal resources is recognized internationally as an important goal, and Annex I achieved significant success in its promotion in 2010 with the completion of a Geothermics Special Issue on the Sustainable Utilization of Geothermal Energy (volume 39, No. 4, December 2010) as well as through the several papers and presentations its participants made on improved environmental sustainability strategies and monitoring methods at the World Geothermal Congress 2010 (Bali, Indonesia) and several other workshops and conferences. In addition, several Annex I participants continued their efforts in the preparation of the geothermal chapter for the IPCC Special Report on Renewable Energy for the mitigation of climate change, which is to be published in 2011; conducted outreach activities with presentations on environmental issues in GIA non-member countries Chile and Indonesia; contributed to an international two-day geothermal induced seismicity workshop held in Reykjavik, Iceland; and took part in collaborative technical meetings at Bali and Reykjavik, on the development of improved methods for monitoring, avoiding and mitigating environmental effects, including subsidence, induced seismicity and gas and heat emissions. Accessing Geothermal Resources Using Enhancement Techniques (Annex III) Huge heat resources consisting of high temperature, water-poor rock are available within current drilling depths (>3 km) almost anywhere on earth. Annex III- Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) has been designed to investigate new and improved technologies (e.g., hydraulic fracturing) via international collaboration to develop engineered heat exchangers at depth to enable commercial heat extraction for electricity production and, in some cases, co-generation of heat for direct use applications. These technologies can also be used to help sustain and enhance energy production at existing conventional hydrothermal developments through increasing permeability and via reinjection. The successful development of EGS is presently one of the major challenges facing the international geothermal community. Reduced funding from various participants in 2010 resulted in major efforts in the Annex being directed at revising its activities. Reducing Geothermal Drilling and Logging Costs (Annex VII) Drilling is an essential and expensive part of geothermal exploration, development, and utilization. Drilling, logging, and completing geothermal wells are expensive because of high temperatures and hard, fractured formations. The consequences of reducing cost are often impressive, because drilling and well completion can account for more than half of the capital cost for a geothermal power project. Consequently, Annex VII- Advanced Drilling and Logging Technology aims to 12PDF Image | Geothermal Research and Tech IEA
