Geothermal energy in the world 5 Georgsson and Fridleifsson In 2009, electricity was produced from geothermal energy in 24 countries, increasing by 20% from 2004 to 2009 (Bertani, 2010). Table 4 lists the top sixteen countries producing geothermal electricity in the world in 2009, and those employing direct use of geothermal energy (in GWh/year). Figure 1 shows the top fourteen countries in the world with the highest percentage share of geothermal in their national electricity production.Special attention is drawn to the fact that El Salvador, Costa Rica and Nicaragua are among the seven top countries, and that Guatemala is in tenth place (Figure 1). TABLE 4: Top sixteen countries utilising geothermal energy in 2009; data on electricity from Bertani (2010) and on direct use from Lund et al. (2010) Geothermal electricity production GWh/yr Geothermal direct use GWh/yr USA Philippines Indonesia Mexico Italy Iceland New Zealand Japan Kenya El Salvador Costa Rica Turkey Papua – New Guinea Russia Nicaragua Guatemala 14,974 10,311 9,600 7,047 5,520 4,597 4,055 3,064 1,430 1,422 1,131 490 450 441 310 289 China USA Sweden Turkey Japan Norway Iceland France Germany Netherlands Italy Hungary New Zealand Canada Finland Switzerland 20,932 15,710 12,585 10,247 7,139 7,001 6,768 3,592 3,546 2,972 2,762 2,713 2,654 2,465 2,325 2,143 The largest geothermal electricity producer is the USA, with almost 15,000 GWh/a, but amounting to only 0.5% of their total electricity production. It is different for most of the other countries listed in Table 4, with geothermal playing an important role in their electricity production. That certainly applies to the fourth country on the list, the Philippines, where the production of10,300 GWh/a means that geothermal supplies 17% of the total produced electricity. The same applies to Kenya, the total production of 1,430 GWh/a puts the country in 9th place with regard to world production and constitutes 17% of the total electricity production in Kenya. For direct use (Lund et al., 2010), China heads the list followed by the USA, Sweden and Turkey. No Central American country is on the list of the 16countries highest in direct use of geothermal energy. Iceland (4,597) El Salvador (1,422) Kenya (1,430) Philippines (10,311) Costa Rica (1,131) New Zealand (4,055) Nicaragua (310) Guadeloupe (France) (95) Indonesia (9,600) Guatemala (289) Mexico (7,047) Italy (5,520) USA (14,974) Japan (3,064) 0% 5% 10% 15% 20% 25% 30% FIGURE 1: The fourteen countries with the highest % share of geothermal energy in their national electricity production.
