Decarbonization with Next-Generation Geothermal
Boston Consulting Group, 2022
Aperçu
Humans have been enjoying the benefits of hot springs since time immemorial. Why not use geothermal power for other uses as well?
Recommendation
In 2020, the world had the capacity to generate 15.7 gigawatts (GW) of electricity from geothermal sources. In 2025, capacity is projected to reach 18 GW. That’s about a $7 billion global market for equipment and services. That’s progress…or at least it seems like it until you realize that total geothermal resources around the world could produce an estimated 600 GW of electricity, worth more than $100 billion. How can key players unlock all that potential? This report from the Boston Consulting Group describes how geothermal could become competitive with other means of energy production.
