Geothermal energy is the thermal energy in the Earth's crust that originates from the formation of the planet and radioactive decay of materials in currently uncertain but possibly roughly equal proportions. A geothermal resource requires fluid, heat, and permeability to generate electricity:
- Fluid - Sufficient fluid must exist naturally or be pumped into the reservoir.
- Heat - The Earth's temperature naturally increases with depth and varies based on geographic location.
- Permeability - In order to access heat, the fluid must come into contact with the heated rock, either via natural fractures or through stimulating the rock.
Conventional hydrothermal resources contain all three elements naturally. Increasingly, however, at places where no natural geothermal resources in the form of steam or hot water exist, the heat of the rock can be used by creating artificial permeability for fluids extracting that heat. This type of geothermal system is known as enhanced geothermal system (EGS).
Enhanced Geothermal Systems Industry Overview
The global Enhanced Geothermal System (EGS) Market is estimated to be $886.8 million in 2020. It is projected to reach a value of $1,354.2 million by 2030, at a CAGR of 4.4% during the forecast period (2021-2030).
Market Segmentation
Enhanced Geothermal Systems Market by Depth
At high depth, the temperature of the Earth’s crust increases. Additionally, with the rise in temperature, the performance of EGS plants increases exponentially. Moreover, as the well temperature increases in an EGS plant, the power price becomes competitive with other energy generating sources. Owing to these advantages, deep EGS is expected to be the fastest-growing segment, growing at a CAGR of 4.7% during the forecast period 2021-2030.
Enhanced Geothermal Systems Market by Power Station Type
Binary cycle power stations make up almost two-thirds of geothermal energy sources installed currently and are used where the water-dominated geothermal reservoirs with temperatures above 180°C are present.
Enhanced Geothermal Systems Market by End User
The Commercial sector is the largest end user of EGS generated electricity globally. In 2020, the Commercial sector had an electricity demand of 941.2 MWe through EGS plants. The commercial sector is an energy-intensive sector having greater demand from end-users such as offices, supermarkets/hypermarkets, government, healthcare, hospitality, transportation, educational institutions, cold storage facilities, data centers, banks, department stores, convenience stores, and stadiums.
Enhanced Geothermal Systems Market by Region
North America is the largest market for enhanced geothermal systems globally. The U.S. is the primary area driving expansion in the North America enhanced geothermal systems market, owing to rising clean electricity demand and increasing emission-cutting policies.
