The U.S. Department of Energy - Geothermal Division (DOE/GD) recently sponsored the Low-Temperature Resource Assessment project to bring the inventory of the nation`s low- and moderate-temperature geothermal resources up to date and to encourage development of the resources. A database of more than 9,278 thermal springs and wells that are in the temperature range of 20 to 150{degrees}C has been compiled for ten western states, an increase of 85% compared to previous assessments. The databases include location, descriptive data, physical parameters, water chemistry and references for sources of data. Computer generated maps are also available for each state. State Teams have identified more than 50 high-priority areas for near-term comprehensive resource studies and development. Geothermal energy cost evaluation software has been developed to quickly identify the cost of geothermally supplied heat to these areas in a similar fashion to that used for conventionally-fueled heat sources.
