Table 2 Liquids, Gases and Heat Processed in the Generation of 330 MW (gross). Six 55 MW at the Gunung Salak Geothermal Field, Indonesia Units in markets where natural gas infrastructure exists. So there are positive signs that conventional high-grade geothermal power development will grow again in the medium term. The challenge to the geothermal industry in the short term is to continue to lower the cost of development to remain compet- itive with other power sources. In the medium term, the greatest opportunity exists in the development of technology to: 1) recover the stranded heat remaining in reservoirs after conventional development; 2) stimulate fractures in the hot impermeable margins of exploited systems; 3) explore for “hidden” systems. In the long term HDR holds the greatest promise, but to develop cost-effective heat mining technology will take a coordinated effort by government and industry over several decades. Extracting a significant fraction of the available geothermal heat commercially presents a considerable challenge but an eminently worthy one, as the world faces an increasing need for nonfossil, nonpolluting energy in the decades to come.
