Request Now !The global geothermal power market was valued at $4.6 billion in 2018, and is projected to reach $6.8 billion by 2026, growing at a CAGR of 5.0% from 2019 to 2026. Geothermal power is a stable and independent power generation system, which uses warm vitality of the earth's magma to produce power. Geothermal power plants utilize the steam that is produced from hot water found around a mile or more below the earth's surface to rotate turbines that start a generator, which further produces electricity.
Three types of geothermal power plants are operating presently, which include binary cycle, dry steam, and flash steam. Government organizations are putting in efforts to reduce the dependency on oil for domestic energy use. To do so, several activities are explored and exploited to use renewable energy resources as an alternative energy source. For achieving this goal, the Government of Indonesia formulated a National Energy Policy, which involves guidelines for intensification, conservation, and diversification of energy.

The global geothermal power market growth is driven by implementation of stringent government regulations related to climate change in developing and developed economies. In addition, factors such as volatile fossil fuel prices, limited presence of fossil fuels, rise in greenhouse gas emission, high capacity of geothermal power, cost-effectiveness of geothermal energy, reduction in pollution by geothermal power plants, and increase in demand for energy are driving the growth of the global geothermal power market. However, huge investment required for geothermal power plants and negative impact of geothermal energy on the environment are major growth barrier for this market. Moreover, the growing market of wind & solar energy restrains the growth of this market. On the contrary, increase in government financing and continuous developing technologies in the renewable energy sector are expected to offer lucrative opportunity for marker expansion over the next five years.
The impact of government regulation on the global geothermal power market is positive. These regulations encourage the use of geothermal power for meeting the needs of electricity. National Renewable Energy Act 2015 was passed in India, which aims to promote the generation of energy by reducing emissions of greenhouse gases such as CO2. Law No. 4411960 was passed in Indonesia that covers mining rights, which mandate that oil and natural gas undertakings shall only be carried out by state enterprise under government registration. This is to ensure that development of every resources is carried out to full benefit of Indonesia as mentioned in Article 33 of the Constitution year of 1945.
The global geothermal power market is segmented into power station type, end use, and region. By power station type, the market is divided into dry steam power stations, flash steam power stations, and binary cycle power stations. On the basis of end use, it is segregated into residential, commercial, industrial, and others.
The geothermal power market analysis is done region-wise across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA. Among these regions, the Asia-Pacific region is expected to witness boom during the forecast period, owing to factors such as electrification of low-income & rural communities. India is one of the key players in the renewable energy market. India reiterated its commitment toward clean energy and reduced carbon emissions. Moreover, India’s increased focus on renewable energy is outlined in the national budget that aims on increasing share of renewable energy in the total energy production. The target is to increase production to 175 GW by 2022, which is anticipated to boost the growth of the geothermal power in the Asia-Pacific region.
Key players operating in the global geothermal power industry are Enel Green Power S.p.A., Ormat Technologies Inc., Kenya Pertamina Geothermal Energy, Electricity Generating Company PLC, Calpine Corporation, Aboitiz Power Corporation, Energy Development Corporation, Fuji Electric Co. Ltd., Toshiba Energy Systems & Solutions Corporation, Mitsubishi Gas Chemical Company Inc., and others.
These players have acquired various strategies such as acquisitions, partnerships, collaboration, joint ventures, agreements, expansions, and new product launches to gain strong consumer base and increase their geothermal power market share globally. In an instance, Japanese utility Electric Power Development Co., Ltd. announced the beginning of commercial operations at a 46.2-MW geothermal power plant in Japan’s Akita region. J-Power, Mitsubishi Materials Corporation, and Mitsubishi Gas Chemical Company Inc. partnered to build Wasabizawa Geothermal Power Plant.

Advancements in geothermal power market are expected to offer growth opportunities to the market. In the U.S., geothermal energy holds about 3.5% share in renewable energy generation. Moreover, several new geothermal plants and small power units are opening in nine states, including Alaska, Nevada, Hawaii, Idaho, California, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, and Wyoming. California has over 2,700 MW of installed geothermal capacity, which is more than any other U.S. state or country. Enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) technology is one of the latest geothermal technologies incorporated in California, and all across the globe. In EGS, heat is extracted from engineered reservoirs through fluid injection into deeper hotter rock. This technology is anticipated to offer lucrative opportunity for market expansion during the forecast period. Several government organizations are investing into this technology, which further boosts the market growth. For instance, the U.S. Department of Energy invested around $37.5 million into EGS projects after the American Recovery and Investment Act of 2009.
