Geothermal Energy Although about two-thirds of global geothermal energy is delivered in the form of direct heat,90 this section focuses on the services related to the electricity generation segment of the geothermal energy market. The United States is the world leader in geothermal electricity production and installed geothermal power capacity.91 Geothermal energy is an important source of U.S. renewable energy in the western United States, where there is a concentration of geothermal resources. However, geothermal energy production is limited by several factors, including geography, lack of access to transmission lines, and the relatively high development and capital costs associated with significant exploration and production risks. Indeed, geothermal power’s installed costs are among the highest of all renewables.92 Government policies have been key in helping defray some of these costs and facilitating the development of geothermal energy projects. International demand for geothermal energy continues to grow at a healthy pace, creating a significant opportunity for U.S. suppliers of geothermal equipment and services. Indeed, the pace of investment growth in the global geothermal energy sector has been strong over the last five years. Emerging markets and developing countries represent most of the untapped growth potential. Given the highly competitive U.S. geothermal market, it is not surprising to find evidence of U.S. geothermal services companies expanding their operations to international markets. More U.S. companies may follow suit, especially to high-potential and low-barrier countries.93 Overview of Geothermal Energy Services Geothermal services include a variety of activities provided by engineering and consulting firms, petrochemical exploration and development firms, and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). Firms in this sector provide a wide variety of services, including exploration; field development; project engineering and analysis; field operations and project management; plant design; drilling engineering services (well design, drilling program design, onsite supervision, drilling program management, and engineering support); geology, geochemistry, and hydrogeology services; and training services.94 Particular O&M-related services identified by one geothermal power operator include construction, rental of drilling rigs, other equipment rental, engineering services, and warehouse services.95 Table 5.11 identifies the CPC codes associated with the services most relevant to the production of geothermal energy. 90 REN21, Renewables 2012, 2012. 91 EIA, “Geothermal Explained.” 92 Lowder et al., Renewable Energy Finance Tracking Initiative, 2012. 93 Industry observer, interview by USITC staff, Washington, DC, December 19, 2012. 94 USITC, Renewable Energy Services, 2005. 95 Industry representative, interview by USITC staff, Jakarta, July 3, 2013. 5-25PDF Image | Renewable Energy and Related Services: Recent Developments
