FAQs

This substantially updated and expanded geothermal market research report provides a thorough introduction and understanding of the three technologies for exploiting geothermal energy; power generation, GSHPs (ground source heat pumps), direct use (excluding GSHPs). The global industry’s development and use of technology, power generation, efficiency and location of resources are analysed and an overview of geothermal energy, capacity and utilization is provided. The global geothermal power industry is reviewed looking at the power operators and equipment manufacturers. Geothermal revenue and costs are analysed, including generation, construction and equipment costs. This renewable energy market research report looks at country use and development of geothermal energy with an analysis of the major market places – North America, Central America & Caribbean, Europe, Asia, and Africa, showing that 2009 was not a great year for world Geothermal development, but it is expected that the market will grow by 78% from 10,711 MW at the end of 2009 to 19,016 MW in 2015. In terms of new capacity, growth markets will be the three biggest geothermal countries: the USA, the Philippines and Indonesia. Countries generating electricity from geothermal is expected to rise from 24 at the end of 2009 to 36 in 2015. A listing of major geothermal manufacturers with address and telephone and fax numbers where available, together with a substantial listing of worldwide targets, incentives, and subsidies is provided at the end of this geothermal market research report.

Report Scope:

The report highlights developments in the geothermal market and pinpoints regions which are developing geothermal capacity. Developments have been quite substantial in the last year, and these are outlined, including company changes. The report describes the world-wide geothermal energy industry and its markets, and the technologies, in three segments; power generation, direct use and an increasingly important category, ground source heat pumps.

The report contains extensive statistics about GSHP.
