Geothermal Energ
y
• Introduction
 Renewable energy which is generated within the earth.
 Used directly for heating or transformed into electricity.
 Originates from the original formation of the planet and from rad
ioactive decay of materials.
 Cost-effective, reliable, sustainable, and environmentally friendly.
Impacts • Advantages
PROS
 Renewable energy source.
 Extracted geothermal fluids
can be re-injected
Geothermal fluids include- silic
a, Zn, Li, Mg, K, Cu, Ag, Au etc.
Oil and gas extraction.
Systems use 25% to 50% less elec
tricity.
Requires less space for hardware.
Nearly zero air emission.
Lessen the load on fossil fuel.
Smallest surface land footpri
nt.
Provides a stable source of e
mployment.
No external cost
 Huge opportunity.
 Provides clean and domestic energy.
 Can fulfill energy need.
Globally Inexhaustible Environmental Benefits
Coproduction of Minerals and Natural
Fuel
High Efficiency
Economic Benefits Energy Stability for Developing Countries
Impacts • Disadvantages
CONS
 Unsustainably high withdrawal rate.
 Inadequate reinjection practices.
Intial installation cost is high.
Complex system require high in
vestment.
Maintenance requires high skill.
Increases operational cost.
Some contain non-condensable gases.
Can emit CO2 and H2S
Can not be traded across the boundary.
Resource is location-constrained.
 Takes a lot of time to research.
 Long time process can discourage
investers.
Resource Depletion Greenhouse Emission
High Investment Cost Sophisticated Maintenance
Land Requirements and Non-Tradability Long Project Development Cycle
Geothermal Energ
y
• Economics
Initial installation cost can be very high. But the electricity
can be sold for a large profit compared to other sources.
Very low maintenance and operation costs which often range
from $0.01 to $0.03 per kWh.
Employment created through geothermal production,
development and use vary widely.
Geothermal Energ
y
• Economics: Continued
Geothermal Ener
gy
• Policy
02
P. P. P.
 Investment support- capital grants,
soft loans etc.
 Operating support- price subsidies,
quota obligations, tradable green c
ertificates.
Risk Insu
rance
Incentives
 Identify available insurance
schemes.
 Public insurance schemes- Iceland
and Germany.
 Integrates commitment of resource
s from both public and private parti
cipants.
 Implement an investment project or
program, usually in infrastructure.
Geothermal Power Generation Incentives
Public-Private Partnerships Geothermal Risk Insurance
