Could geothermal-specific targets increase investor interest?
Implementing geothermal-specific targets or ambitions and geothermal-specific technology roadmaps and implementation plans could drastically increase investor interest. Indonesia and Kenya have long-established policies and targets that integrate geothermal as a central component of their energy strategies.
What is the market potential for next-generation geothermal?
IEA. CC BY 4.0. Note: MER = market exchange rate. In the medium-cost case, global market potential for next-generation geothermal is nearly 30 GW by 2035 and 190 GW by 2050. While this is only one-quarter of the low-cost case, it is still over twice as much as conventional geothermal capacity in 2050.
Can geothermal energy storage be used in large-scale energy storage?
The Geothermal Energy Storage concept has been put forward as a possibility to store renewable energy on a large scale. The paper discusses the potential of UTES in large-scale energy storage and its integration with geothermal power plants despite the need for specific geological formations and high initial costs.
What is geothermal energy storage?
