Worldwide Industry for Geothermal Power to 2025 - Featuring Enel spa, Fuji Electric and Calpine Among Others - ResearchAndMarkets.com

The "Global Geothermal Power Market - Forecasts from 2020 to 2025" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

Global geothermal power market was valued at US$1.403 billion in 2019 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 2.72% over the forecast period to reach a total market size of US$1.649 billion in 2025.

According to latest statistics from the 2019 IRENA report (International Renewables Energy Agency), the contribution of geothermal energy to the global renewable capacity amounts to 13 GW. Mounting concerns among governments and international environmental agencies and organizations related to climate change across the globe have boosted the demand for various renewable energy sources to be used as a substitute of fossil fuels to generate electricity. Moreover, volatility of fossil fuel prices, their limited availability, and rise in greenhouse gas (GHGs) emissions are also shifting the demand for electricity generated from renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, and geothermal. All these factors are adding up to the growth of different renewable energy sectors including solar, wind, and geothermal.

High capacity of geothermal power coupled with its cost-effectiveness is significantly driving the demand for geothermal power across the globe which is bolstering the market growth. However, factors such as high investment required for geothermal power plants and negative impact of geothermal energy on the environment are hampering the growth of geothermal power market. The presence of other viable renewable energy alternatives, especially solar, is also hindering the use of geothermal power to generate electricity.

Rising investments in geothermal energy across different countries will also continue to propel the growth of geothermal power market during the forecast period. In March 2019, the investment firm- Breakthrough Energy Ventures- announced to invest $12.5 million in a geothermal project development company- Baseload Capital. It is a project investment firm which offers capital for the development of geothermal power plants with the use of the technology developed by Climeon, its Swedish parent company. The Philippines-based geothermal company EnergiMiinas has plans to set up two geothermal power plants into operation in Peru by 2026 or 2027 with the investment of US$1 billion in each project. Thrive Renewables has also recently announced its plans to invest around 6.5 million in the first geothermal power plant in the United Kingdom with an aim to supply approximately 3 MW of electricity to National Grid and upto 12 MW of electricity for local use.

Continuous development of technologies to increase the efficiency of geothermal power plants are expected to offer more lucrative opportunity for the market expansion over the next five years. Geothermal funding in the U.S. will increase from $84 million in FY2019 to $110 million in FY2020, representing an increase of 31 per cent. Out of this total funding, $20 million will be used by the Frontier Observatory for Research in Geothermal Energy (FORGE) project which aims to test and evaluate enhanced geothermal systems. Recently, UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) has announced an early-stage investment for seventeen new projects related to offshore and geothermal clean energy innovation. In February 2020, Turkish geothermal player MASPO Energy established a national geothermal research and development center aiming to increase the focus on equipment manufacturing in Turkey so as to reduce its dependency on international support and supply. Eavor Technologies, Inc., a Calgary-based company, is developing a ground-breaking prototype for a closed-loop geothermal system that will allow the generation of renewable energy using the earth's natural heat.
