Geothermal Vision Study (EERE/GTO)
The
Geothermal Technologies Office (GTO) at the United States Department of Energy has undertaken a vision study—called GeoVision—to conduct a credible analysis of potential geothermal growth scenarios for 2020, 2030 and 2050 across multiple market sectors. By engaging the geothermal industry in this dialogue, GTO anticipates a product that will benefit the entire industry:
- Clearly articulated GTO investment strategies across different sectors, with a cohesive plan to attain near-term and stretch goals:
- Relevant geothermal growth scenarios for 2020, 2030 and 2050, backed by robust data, modeling, and analysis
- Comprehensive approach, inclusive of all market segments: existing and potential hydrothermal, electrical and non-electrical uses, burgeoning EGS advances, and other value streams
- Accessible objectives and peer-reviewed industry data, supportive of and available to geothermal decision-makers in policy, permitting, and development capacities
- Aspirational and inspirational goals
