Summary
Cost volatility and depletion of fossil fuels, along with scrutiny into the emissions of fossil fuel burning power plants have driven demand for both cleaner sources of energy and cleaner results from generating that energy. Advances in geothermal technology have now positioned renewable geothermal energy systems as a clean and economically viable alternative. Geothermal electric generation systems are increasingly leveraged to supplement and substitute conventional fuel sources around the world. In 2008, about 61 billion kilowatts of electricity were generated from geothermal electric power plants. Geothermal electricity now accounts for 0.3% of the world’s electric consumption.
Compared to conventional natural gas or fuel oil heat and air heat pumps, geothermal heat pumps offer many advantages. They have low operating, maintenance, and life cycle costs and a longer life expectancy than most conventional systems. Geothermal heat pumps leverage a renewable resource and are environmentally friendly. The global installed base of geothermal heat pump systems increased by nearly 61% from 1.065 million units in 2004 to 1.712 million in 2008.
Geothermal Energy Markets: Technologies and Products Worldwide includes a broad review of the global geothermal power systems and geothermal heat pump markets. The report provides a discussion of the technology utilized in geothermal energy production and recent technology enhancements. Historical and forecast (2004-2013) demand for each product type in power systems and heat pumps is quantified and projections for growth in demand are provided, along with the key factors influencing this growth. The report also provides profiles of companies active in geothermal energy production and geothermal heat pumps.
