Projecting energy resource utilization—the geothermal case

Energy, 1978, vol. 3, issue 4, 485-491

Abstract: This paper presents a simple and systematic approach to deriving energy resource-utilization projections using the geothermal resources as an example. The near-term projections are derived from considerations such as present resource development status and lead times for further development. The long-term projections are founded on experience with conceptually similar industries, size of available resources, and demands on exogenous physical resources and institutional constraints. It is suggested that such first-order analysis is valuable in the energy program-planning process.
