Iceland Offers Case Study of Geothermal''s Powerful Potential

The U.S. is experiencing increased interest in making use of geothermal resources under the Biden administration, with the U.S. Department of Energy announcing $20 million in funding for geothermal drilling technology projects, and $8.4 million for accessing geothermal potential from abandoned oil and gas wells.

Geothermal Energy Factsheet

Geothermal Resource and PotentialGeothermal energy is derived from the natural heat of the earth.1 It exists in both high enthalpy (volcanoes, geysers) and low enthalpy forms (heat stored in rocks in the Earth''s crust). Most heating and cooling applications utilize low enthalpy heat.2 Geothermal energy has two primary applications: heating/cooling and electricity generation.1

Combining geothermal energy with CO storage

green energy also uses geothermal reservoirs but in a different way as is the case with carbon dioxide storage. At depths varying from several hundreds of meters to several kilometers geothermal energy is used to provide heat. From a depth of 6 kilometers and deeper geothermal energy is used to produce electricity by means of superheated steam.
