Approximately a year in advance, forms for the update for electric and direct-use of geothermal energy were mailed to representatives in 85 countries in preparation for the World Geothermal Congress 2000 (WGC2000) in Japan.
Not all countries reported data for these tables, and it was often difficult to separate Electrical from Direct-Use values.
heatpumps_geothermal_heat Geothermal energy is a natural resource which can be used in conjunction with heat pumps to provide energy for heating and hot water.
Heat pumps can be cheaper to operate than other heating systems because, by tapping into free heat in the outdoor air, ground or water supply, they give back more energy-in the form of heat-than the equivalent amount of electrical energy they consume.
For example, in heating mode, a highly efficient heat pump could extract energy from the earth and transfer it into a building.
For every 1 KWh of electrical energy used to drive the heat pump, around 3 to 4kWh of thermal energy will be produced.

Geothermal energy has an unexplored and unexploited potential for sustainable and reliable energy production in several countries and regions world-wide.
On the 2nd of June the "Day of Geothermal Power" at the Maritim Hotel Godesberger Allee will highlight all aspects of geothermal energy production: resource assessment, technology, project development and financing of geothermal projects.
Organized by UNEP Energy, the Federal Institute for Geosciences and Natural Resources (BGR), the professional services firm Rödl & Partner, the German Geothermal Union (GtV), GeoForschungsZentrum Potsdam (GFZ), KfW development bank and others the event at the Maritim hotel will give a forum to explore and discuss the development of geothermal energy.

Given that the electricity market in Kenya is regulated, proponents suggest that the regulator, Electricity Regulatory Board, is best placed to implement this development within the existing legal framework.
The proponents perceive the regulator's position as ideal, being empowered by law to set retail tariffs on the one hand, and to approve the bulk tariffs which, are a key determinant of the retail tariff, on the other.
A key issue that merits consideration in the energy policy is the diversification of generation sources into environmentally benign energy sources.
With such a policy in place implementation agencies such as ERB will be in a position to implement policy without compromising their mandates.

An under-appreciated/utilized source of thermal energy is the earth itself -- the source of geothermal power, the world's largest power source in common use for centuries.
The word "geothermal" means earth plus heat and it is an environmentally friendly, renewable resource in contrast to fossil fuels mined from the earth that are most commonly used as power generation fuels.
Geothermal energy contributes both to energy supply, with electrical power generation and direct-heat uses, and to reduced energy demand, with savings in electricity and natural gas usage by using geothermal heat pumps to heat and cool buildings.
Facilities can be heated directly with hot water from underground reservoirs and the availability of geothermal heat pumps allows people to tap this abundant source of thermal energy for use in home heating and cooling systems.

As the Bush administration gears up for new initiatives to speed geothermal energy development in Western states, the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries has chronicled over 40 years of geothermal studies in Oregon Geology magazine.
Portland, Oregon: "Geothermal energy is 'back on the radar screen' as a viable energy source," says Dr. Vicki McConnell, Acting State Geologist for the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries (DOGAMI).
The sites include Newberry Crater near Bend -- the location of past geothermal exploration -- and the Klamath Falls, Lakeview, Crump Lake, Summer Lake, Malheur River and Vale areas of southern and eastern Oregon.

A $50-$60 million budget level would be consistent with recommendations made by the President's Committee of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST) in its 1997 report.
The NRC panel states: "In light of the significant advantages of geothermal energy as a resources for power generation, it may be undervalued in DOE's renewable energy portfolio.
Significant amounts of high-grade resources are available, and geothermal power technologies can operate in a variety of duty cycles (from base load to peak load conditions).
DOE and its laboratories have helped bring geothermal electricity to 40 million people worldwide, and support the technological lead of the U.S. geothermal industry.

During the planning stages of this project, it was decided that the electrical heat would be replaced with a more efficient system and that air conditioning would be integrated into the building.
When the renovation was completed, the electric resistance heat was removed and replaced with a two-pipe fan coil system, with the heating and cooling water generated in the geothermal heat pump system.
The US EPA does not exercise any editorial control over the information contained in these links, nor is the US EPA associated with or responsible for the content of these sites.
The most notable benefit of converting from traditional electrical resistance baseboard heat to the geothermal system was the utilization of less electricity to both heat and cool a nine-story building.

Several non-exclusive options are available for reducing the atmospheric emission of carbon dioxide from power generation: control of energy consumption; use of an alternative energy source to fossil fuels, such as nuclear, eolian or geothermal; capture and storage of the CO2 emitted during power generation with fossil fuels (for the production of hydrogen, for example).
A census carried out using interrogation data and tools developed at BRGM has determined 34 possible storage sites for long-lived low-level radioactive waste in France.
Geothermal exploration The completion of surface exploration work in the Morne Rouge - Mount Pelée and Diamant areas has revealed three promising sites.

Where these high temperatures exist, ground water is heated to form hydrothermal resources -- naturally occurring bodies of steam or hot water, which can be exploited to generate electricity or for direct heating.
2010. European countries generate more than 4000 GWh/year, predominantly in Italy, Iceland, Turkey and Russia.
Europe is also at the forefront of research into advanced geothermal technology with the European Hot Dry Rock project at Soultz-sous-Forets in France, which aims to demonstrate the feasibility of exploiting deep hot rocks that do not have in-situ fluid.
THERMIE is the demonstration component of the Research and Technology Development non-nuclear Energy programme JOULE-THERMIE.
