on the future course of HDR in the US These recommendations were immediately presented in preliminary form to Allan Hoffman, DOE Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for the Office of Utility Technologies In a report that so far has appeared only in "draft" form, but the essence of which was printed in the Geothermal Energy Association insert in a recent Geothermal Resources Council Bulletin (Wright 1996), that group affirmed the importance of HDR to the future of the geothermal industry, suggested that HDR technology should be integrated into the conventional geothermal industry, and proposed that the acronym "HDR" be replaced with a new term that would encompass all geothermal resources requiring artificial measures beyond current technology to achieve commercial heat extraction. They did not, however, offer any suggestions as to what the new term should be. The group also made the following specific recommendations: • Unify management of all geothermal R&D programs and include HDR elements within the unified program. • Convene a panel to formulate short- and long-term geothermal R&D goals, including the long-term commercialization of HDR. • Establish a peer-review committee to evaluate the current status of the US HDR Program, publish its findings, and implement technology transfer to move HDR technology into the geothermal mainstream. • Mothball the Fenton Hill site. • Coordinate US geothermal R&D efforts with HDR programs in other countries. Impending Restructuring Activities. The GEA panel offered some broad directions but few specifics in regard to the future course of HDR research and development. While the panel endorsed a much closer tie of HDR work to the goals of the hydrothermal industry, it gave no indications of exactly how to accomplish this. With this background, the DOE Geothermal Division now appears to be considering a dual approach to restructuring the HDR Program. This approach will move toward the vision of the United States as a "worldwide leader in the development, application, and export of sustainable, environmentally attractive, and economically competitive energy systems" as expressed in the DOE's strategic plan of April 1994. It will also address the more immediate concerns of the conventional geothermal industry. Two complementary groups are being considered to help set the course of future HDR work. One panel, under the auspices of the National Academy of Sciences, would review the status of the entire DOE geothermal program (including HDR) in depth, and would ideally provide a visionary outline of a path to eventual HDR implementation. The second group, more geothermal industry oriented, would address HDR in the context of its relationship to the conventional geothermal industry. A National Academy of Sciences Review of Geothermal Research and Development in the U S A . A review of geothermal energy development programs by a National Academy of Sciences (NAS) panel may the single most important factor in establishing a reinvigorated HDR Program. An NAS review would certainly be widely recognized as authoritative, independent, and unbiased. Hopefully, one result of an NAS review of geothermal programs would be a realistic assessment of the current state of HDR technology and a visionary plan to make HDR and the full range of geothermal resources, a key component of the clean energy supply the world will need in the 21st century 16PDF Image | Hot Dry Rock Geothermal Energy Development in the USA
