Abstract: . . .  1998). The following are amongstthe strate- gic goals: a) supply the electric powerneeds of sevenmillion U.S. homes (18 million people) from geothermal energy by the year 2010; b) expand direct use of geothermal resources andapplicationof geothermal heat pumps to provide the heat- ing, cooling and hot water needs of seven million homes by the year2010; c) meet the basic energy needs of 100 million people indeveloping countries byusing U.S. geothermal tech- nology to install at least 10,000 MW by the year2010; d) by the year2010, develop new technology to meet 10%of U.S. non-transportation energy . . .

Itis acommonmisconceptionthat directuse of geo- thermal is confinedto low-temperature resources. High-tem- perature resources can, of course, also be usedforheating and drying purposes even if the process is at a very low tempera- ture. Refrigerationis, infact, onlypossible withtemperatures above about 120 o C. The world’s two largest industrial com- panies using geothermal energy (the Kawerau paper mill in New Zealand and the Kisilidjan diatomite plant in Iceland) . . .
