USA GEOTHERMAL ELECTRICAL POTENTIAL
• Identified potential estimate by USGS in 1978: 22,990 MW
• CA and NV recent evaluation: 6,200 MW– Nearly triple the existing capacity
• Achieving the electrical potential depends on a number of state & federal factors:– Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS)– Production Tax Credit (PTC)

USDOE R&D SUPPORT• United States Department of Energy – ongoing
efforts in support of R&D– Enhanced geothermal systems– Downhole diagnostics– Enhanced evaporative
cooling– Mixed binary working
fluids– Corrosion resistant
coatings– Co-production of
minerals

GEOPOWERING THE WEST
• USDOE continues to provide through the GPW program:– Technical assistance for:
• Direct-use projects• Small-scale electrical projects• Geothermal heat pump projects
– For developers and users in 16 western states
• Geo-Heat Center and Washington State University providing technical assistance
![Page 6: The United States of America Country Update Geothermal Resources Council Annual Meeting Reno, Nevada 25-28 September 2005 John W. Lund, R. Gordon Bloomquist,](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e2f5503460f94b1fc64/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
INSTALLED GEOTHEMAL ELECTRICAL CAPACITY• US continues to lead the world in installed
electrical capacity: 2534 MWe• And leads in installed geothermal heat
pumps: 7,200 MWt (600,000 + units)• However, remains a small contributor:
– In 2004 – only 0.27% of total US capacity
• On the state level – geothermal electrical is a major contributor in CA and NV – In CA – if provides about 6% of state’s energy
![Page 7: The United States of America Country Update Geothermal Resources Council Annual Meeting Reno, Nevada 25-28 September 2005 John W. Lund, R. Gordon Bloomquist,](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e2f5503460f94b1fc64/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
ELECTRICAL ADDITIONS
• From 2000 t0 2004– Approximately 70 MWe capacity added in US– Reduction at The Geysers to about 1,421 MWe
of which only 1,000 MWe currently operating.– The Lake County, CA waste water pipeline has
allowed over 77 MWe to be added at The Geysers
– The Santa Rosa pipeline, on-line in 2004 – will add additional capacity at The Geysers
![Page 8: The United States of America Country Update Geothermal Resources Council Annual Meeting Reno, Nevada 25-28 September 2005 John W. Lund, R. Gordon Bloomquist,](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e2f5503460f94b1fc64/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
PRODUCTION OF ELECTRICITY: ALL SOURCES
• Operable electric production capacity and power generation in the United States from all sources for 1999-2003 stands at 2534 MWe providing 17,840 GWh/y.

REINJECTION AT THE GEYSERS
• Geothermal power production has stayed nearly constant from 2000-2004 with the steep decline
at The Geysers slowed by waste water injection and plant expansion elsewhere.

OUTLOOK AND CONCLUSIONS – ELECTRIC POWER GENERATION
• Planned new capacity over the next five years would increase by 632 MWe and total capacity could reach 3160 MWe, growth rate well above that of the past 5 years (18%).
• Most growth in the states of California, Nevada, Utah, and Idaho
![Page 17: The United States of America Country Update Geothermal Resources Council Annual Meeting Reno, Nevada 25-28 September 2005 John W. Lund, R. Gordon Bloomquist,](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e2f5503460f94b1fc64/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
• How the industry fares will to a large extent depend upon the success of renewable portfolio standards (RPS) and the impact of the production tax credit (PTC) that provides for a 1.8¢ credit for every kWh produced.
![Page 18: The United States of America Country Update Geothermal Resources Council Annual Meeting Reno, Nevada 25-28 September 2005 John W. Lund, R. Gordon Bloomquist,](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e2f5503460f94b1fc64/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
• When the present excess capacity in the western states begins to disappear, and as the price of fossil fuel—particularly natural gas—continues to rise, geothermal energy can be expected to resume its once strong growth.
![Page 19: The United States of America Country Update Geothermal Resources Council Annual Meeting Reno, Nevada 25-28 September 2005 John W. Lund, R. Gordon Bloomquist,](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e2f5503460f94b1fc64/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
DIRECT-USE IN THE USA
• Installed capacity and annual use:– Direct-utilization: 617 MWt & 9,024 TJ/yr– Heat pumps: 7,200 MWt & 22,214 TJ/yr
• Growth since 2000:– Direct-utilization: 2.6%/yr– Heat pumps: 11.0%/yr– Combined total: 8.0%/yr
![Page 20: The United States of America Country Update Geothermal Resources Council Annual Meeting Reno, Nevada 25-28 September 2005 John W. Lund, R. Gordon Bloomquist,](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e2f5503460f94b1fc64/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
DIRECT-USE ADDITIONS
• Direct-use (other than heat pumps) has had a small growth <3%/yr
• Geothermal heat pumps have had a large growth, around 11%/yr – mainly in the east and midwest states
• A small district heating system has come on-line: I’SOT at Canby in northern CA
• Competition from low natural gas has been a deterrent to new projects

DISTRICT HEATING
• 20 systems in the US – one added• Using 59oC to 100oC @ 5 to 250 L/s• Installed capacity: 0.1 to 31 MWt• Annual energy use: 0.7 to 94 TJ/yr• Total: 84 MWt and 788 TJ/yr• Development small due to
– Competition with cheap natural gas– Low heat load density in the West
