State-coupled direct heat program, western states

DGE's objective in this project is to facilitate discovery, assessment and development of low temperature geothermal resources in the US. One strategy for reaching this objective is the initiation with selected states of cooperative programs. The objectives of these state cooperative programs are: (1) to extend the inventory of geothermal resources in the state to include the low temperature reservoirs most suitable for direct heat applications; and (2) to stimulate reservoir confirmation studies at sites with an apparent but unquantified potential for direct heat application development
